Please join Busboys and Poets Books as we welcome authors Marilynn Preston and Jamie Steihm to Takoma for a discussion of their new book.
People are stressed -- in Washington in particular -- worried about life inside and outside of the Beltway. Marilynn Preston and Jamie Steihm have been through it all and know how to encourage people to live their best lives -- active in politics, active in well-being, active in understanding the past and where we’re headed as a society.
We live in a health- and image-conscious world, and in her best-selling book, “All is Well: The Art {and Science} of Personal Well-Being,” Marilynn offers readers a timely and provocative guide to lifestyle change. From eating clean to going green, from being politically active letting go of anxiety, Marilynn links mind and body to culture and politics.
From their combined seven decades as journalists, Marilynn and Jamie offer listeners a welcoming literary panel on how they’ve crafted strong careers as women, reporters and travelers on the path to more joy, greater happiness and less stress.
Marilynn Preston—journalist, healthy lifestyle expert, TV host and commentator, Emmy Award-winning TV producer—is the author of “Energy Express,” America’s longest-running syndicated fitness column. She is an ACE-certified fitness trainer and certified Wellcoach. Her own practice includes yoga, race walking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, and wine tasting—not on the same day. She’s circumambulated Mt. Kailash in Tibet, climbed Mt. Olympus in Greece, bicycled in France, golfed in Bhutan, and scuba dived in the YMCA pool in Chicago. Her next big adventure is getting people to read “All is Well” to create their happiest, healthiest lives.marilynnpreston.com
Jamie Stiehm: In her weekly syndicated column for Creators Syndicate, journalist and history buff Jamie Stiehm looks at current events through the lens of the past, both political and personal. She’s been a journalist for almost three decades, from being an assignment editor at the CBS News bureau in London to a hardened reporter at The Baltimore Sun and The Hill. Her op-eds have been splashed across the pages of The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, The San Francisco Chronicle, USNews.com and The New York Times. The latest collection of her columns, “The 21st Century Needs a Rewrite” is available as an e-book for iBooks, Kindle, Nook and GooglePlay.
Books will be available before and after the event. Please contact books@busboysandpoets.com for more info.
