Meeting of WYWL at 7:00 pm; Author talks at 7:30 pm
McManus Room

Women are extraordinarily hard on themselves. They scrutinize their flaws; they get preoccupied with ways they do not measure up, twisting themselves into knots to fix problems no one else can see. The Power of Women: Harness Your Unique Strengths at Home, at Work, and in Your Community, the latest book from award-winning and bestselling psychologist Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, shows women how to break this cycle—by discovering and utilizing their unique psychological strengths. Dr. Nolen-Hoeksema, the author of the bestselling Women Who Think Too Much and Eating, Drinking, Overthinking is a professor of psychology at Yale University where she has conducted award-winning research on women’s mental health for twenty-five years. She and her research have been profiled on the Today show and in The New York Times.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Books by the author in the Library catalog.

Co-sponsored by the Westport Young Woman’s League.
