Book Club Tea Party

Feb. 25, 2014  My friends support my tea habit.  Encourage it, even.  Our book club met and had a four-tier service.  Forget three-tiers!  We’re nothing, if not over-achievers!  We read The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal.  (You can see it on the table.) We had blueberry infused tea and it was perfect for the evening discussion.  Even though I indulged on the cucumber sandwiches, pimento cheese and chicken salad finger sandwiches and yummy white chocolate scones, I actually did exercise some willpower by not eating every single cucumber sandwich available.  It was a challenge but I managed.

The book itself, was very useful with practical applications.  McGonigal presented concepts such as moral licensing, connecting with your future self and how behaviors are contagious.  I also learned how your dopamine can drive you to distraction and the role of your pre-frontal cortex.  The science and studies presented were fascinating.

Thanks to my WEDC Brilliance Book Club for a lovely treat and for helping me get a little smarter along the way!
