Millions of people know Pat Croce as a swashbuckling Type-A dynamo: Relentlessly brash and optimistic Philadelphia 76ers president who guided the team from worst to first in five years; sought-after motivational speaker and television personality; author of more than a dozen bestselling books; and climber of Mount Everest as a defiant response to his terminal cancer.
Yes, terminal cancer. Since his diagnosis, Pat has pursued inner peace: Leading a mindfulness sangha and traveling to sacred sites in Bhutan, Tibet, and his own Meditation Hill retreat. In his new book, "Enjoy Your Self Now!," he gathers the insights of his recent awakening path into "66 sacred shifts to instantly awaken the peaceful presence within you." In each section, he combines his own reflections with practical advice and wisdom from the great sages and mystics.
Pat will be doing only a very few public events to celebrate his book. We are thrilled that one of those is at the Bookshop ("Because," he says, "I love your bookstore!"). He will talk about the book and his life, and answer audience questions.
This event is free and all are welcome.
