We’ll start with a morning at the d-school, finding out why students, scholars, companies, and countries are flocking there to learn about design thinking and creative decision processes. Come prepared to have fun , to explore, and to take the ideas back to your real-world decisions.
We’ll also have a morning with the folks from the Longevity Center, whose work ranges across health, finance, neuroscience, innovative products, our shifting demographics, and discoveries in the basic (molecular) science of aging. They’ll give us some riveting highlights from their scholarship and leave lots of time for questions.
Bill Perry, former Secretary of Defense, hero of decades of diplomacy for nuclear arms treaties, and trouble-shooter for conflicts all over the world, will give us an insider’s look at global affairs and the “track 2” diplomacy going on behind the scenes.
We’ll unpack some of the current challenges in education “reform” and discuss the potential for transformation. We’re also waiting for confirmation from other great professors, who will engage us in fields ranging from energy, to media, to stress, etc. (depending on who will be in town and can join us). We all, also, want one afternoon about our interests in art and creativity and the place they have in our lives. The combination of cutting-edge sessions, great conversations, and time for smaller groups to come together around common interests should give us three memorable days. And yes, there will be time to just take in the campus, enjoy quiet walks with friends and hit the bookstore... .
BREAKING NEWS
Dr. Phillip Zimbardo, who wants to link us to his latest work, described below, has agreed to join us. This should open up some great discussion! Also, Stanford Magazine's August/September issue will feature an article on the 40th anniversary of his famous prison experiment.
The desire to answer this compelling question and to understand the nature and psychology of heroism, led Dr. Philip Zimbardo to create the Heroic Imagination Project (HIP), which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that teaches people how to overcome the natural human tendency to watch and wait in moments of crisis.
Philip Zimbardo is one of the world’s most distinguished living psychologists, having served as President of the American Psychological Association, designed and narrated the award-winning 26-part PBS series "Discovering Psychology," and has published more than 50 books and 400 professional and popular articles and chapters, among them, "Shyness," "The Lucifer Effect," and "The Time Paradox."
A professor emeritus at Stanford University, Dr. Zimbardo has spent 50 years teaching and studying psychology. He received his Ph.D. in psychology from Yale University, and his areas of focus include time perspective, shyness, terrorism, madness, and evil. He is best-known for his controversial Stanford Prison Experiment that highlighted the ease with which ordinary intelligent college students could cross the line between good and evil when caught up in the matrix of situational and systemic forces.
