You’ve Changed

A conversation with Benoit Denizet-Lewis and Larissa MacFarquhar

  • Virtual
  • 12PM – 1PM EDT

As obsessed as we are with change, we’re also often suspicious of those who claim to have pulled it off.

In , Benoit Denizet-Lewis explores personal transformation in an age obsessed with reinvention.

Drawing on insights from psychologists, neuroscientists, and spiritual teachers, Denizet-Lewis confronts our ambivalent relationship with change by taking readers inside the lives of people who’ve transformed themselves—or say they have. From psychedelic reality benders to political converts and seemingly transformed murderers, he brings curiosity, empathy, and humor to an investigation of the many ways we try to reimagine ourselves, and what’s at stake when we do.

You’ve Changed challenges us to think more deeply about how real transformation happens.
