Rescheduled: A Path Appears with Nicholas Kristof

Nicholas Kristof, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the #1 bestseller Half the Sky, returns with a unique and essential narrative about making a difference in the world in A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity. It is a tour of philanthropic innovators across the U.S. and around the world who are using research, evidence-based strategies, and brilliant ideas of their own to fight some of the twenty-first century's most intractable problems: poor early-childhood education, sex trafficking, inner-city violence, poverty and malnutrition, homelessness, and many others. Equally importantly, the authors delve into the science behind philanthropy and remind us that altruism is good for us. Volunteering has been associated with lower mortality, better physical function, higher self-rated health, fewer depressive symptoms, diminished pain, and greater life satisfaction.

Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn have co-authored four books together and were awarded the Pulitzer in 1990 for their coverage of China, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize in 2009. Kristof, a columnist for The New York Times, won a second Pulitzer in 2006 for what the judges called "his graphic, deeply reported columns that, at personal risk, focused attention on genocide in Darfur."
