Careless People    Tuesday April 29 at 5.30

An explosive memoir charting one woman’s career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.

Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the wrenching but fun story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to “lean in.”

Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade—told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A deep, unflinching look at the role that social media has assumed in our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.

Bhutan
with Kermit Cole and Lama Gyurme Rabgyes
Saturday April 26, 2025 5pm


When Kermit Cole and Lama Gyurme Rabgyes toured Bhutan's monasteries, they took a bumpy unplanned detour to a mountaintop monastery where the local community had gathered to watch the monks dance and perform the story of Atsara - the sacred clown who embodies Bhutan's esteem for humor as the highest of virtues. From there they went to the heart of an 11th-century monastery where student monks laughed as they engaged in the exuberant practice of Tibetan debate, further demonstrating the embrace of emotion in the pursuit of wisdom. We will reflect on what Bhutan's unique history as the only constitutionally Buddhist nation exemplifies the value of having a sense of humor as citizens of a nation, and of the world.
