How to Turn Obstacles and Constraints into Strengths

We're told to "think outside the box" to innovate, solve complex problems, and reach our goals. But what if the secret lies in working within our limitations? In Inside the Box, David Epstein draws on science, research, and real-world case studies to demonstrate how top performers and innovators turn rigid limits into unmatched strengths. Register for the online event, Read the author's books for free with your library card, Watch past author talks, If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!

The Science and Absurdities of Living in Outer Space
Join us for an out-of-this-world conversation with bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith as they dive into their book, A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?
Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no doomscrolling—beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea.
