Event details

Join Laurence Shorter, author of The Lazy Guru for an entertaining new take on personal development. His cartoon guide to mindfulness - which is suitable for both adults and children - turns over the normal rules of self-help and provides a refreshing alternative.

Drawing on his own quest for happiness, Laurence explains his theory of enlightened relaxation, creativity and flow. In this amusing and thought-provoking talk you will learn how to connect with your own inner lazy guru and achieve more - by doing less - in every aspect of your life. Laurence’s talk, like his book, includes practical tips and techniques for getting back into flow in a range of difficult and sticky situations, from work and money to relationships and dining decisions.
