A Conversation with Jeffrey Davis & Tara Sophia Mohr on Reclaiming a Life of Meaning and Possibility in a World Obsessed with Productivity
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
An Evening Book Event, Conversation and Q&A
Wednesday, November 17, 2021, 7:00 – 8:30 pm ET
The Covid-19 pandemic has rippled across the globe, with many of us experiencing profound psychological stress and burnout. We feel broken by distraction, disengagement and a default reactivity to life’s surprises, but we can rediscover our innate genius to lead a more hopeful life rooted in the present. Tracking Wonder: Reclaiming a Life of Meaning and Possibility in a World Obsessed with Productivity, offers an eye-opening and mind-expanding exploration of wonder and its deep capacity to redefine our identity, helping us live with greater openness and resilience.
Join author Jeffrey Davis, an acclaimed teacher, consultant and speaker, as he discusses his new book with Tara Mohr, an expert on women’s leadership and well-being, and an author, educator and certified coach. They will dive deeply into the question of “Why Wonder Now?,” exploring the six facets of wonder that Davis has mapped out–openness, curiosity, bewilderment, hope, connection and admiration–and how to develop them in your life. These form the foundation of Davis’s science-based, soul-centered counter-approach to hyper-productivity.
For over 15 years, he has researched, interviewed and worked with luminaries across cultures and professions to identify wonder as the single universal experience that opens us to creative awakening across all walks of life. As Davis writes, “Imagine wonder as a multi-faceted prism through which you can see and experience your days anew.” Tracking wonder is both a mindset and a skill that can be learned and cultivated with the help of a simple notebook and a willingness to dwell in possibility. Q & A will follow.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Tracking Wonder
by Jeffrey Davis
In a world obsessed with work and productivity, many people feel broken by distraction, disengagement, and a default reactivity to life’s surprises, but can rediscover their innate genius to lead a more creative life rooted in the present. In the new book Tracking Wonder, Jeffrey Davis – an acclaimed teacher, consultant and speaker – presents a science-based, soul-centered counter-approach to hyper-productivity that speaks to the cultural moment of “workism” and languishing.
Davis offers an eye-opening and mind-expanding exploration of wonder and how to nurture its profound capacity to reverse apathy and heal burnout.
For over 15 years, he has researched, interviewed, and worked with luminaries across cultures and professions to identify wonder as the single universal experience that opens us to create awakening across all walks of life. As Davis writes, “Imagine wonder as a multi-faceted prism through which you can see and experience your days anew.” Tracking Wonder is the first book to examine six facets of wonder – openness, curiosity, bewilderment, hope, connection and admiration – and how to foster them in work, creativity and relationships. Each chapter’s “Tracking Wonder Journey” feature invites readers to approach a day with more mindfulness and curiosity.
