Description:

After not crying for more than a decade, author Benjamin Perry began a personal experiment: To make himself cry every day for months. This experience rewired his emotional life, and began a journey to understand why our tears matter. Join a free reading and conversation about the psychology and physiology of crying, the social forces that inhibit tears, and how we would all benefit from a world shaped by open weeping. Signed copies of Cry, Baby will be available for purchase.
