SUMMARY:Becoming Gandhi by Perry Garfinkel Author Talk
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nLongtime New York Times contributor and bestselling 
 author Perry Garfinkel moved with his family from Queens\, N.Y.\, to West 
 Orange in 1954 when he was 6 years old. He moved away in the early 1970s 
 after graduating from Rutgers and following his first newspaper job at the 
 Newark Star Ledger. Since then\, he has traveled to 35 countries as a 
 working journalist\, interviewing everyone from the Dalai Lama to Clint 
 Eastwood. \n\nPublishers Weekly included his most recent book among the top 
 10 of 2024 in the spirituality genre: Becoming Gandhi: My Experiment Living 
 the Mahatma's 6 Moral Truths in Immoral Times (Sounds True Publishing)\, 
 with a foreword by the Dalai Lama. The research took him to India\, the 
 UK\, and South Africa\; it's now published in 5 countries. His previous 
 book\, Buddha or Bust: In Search of Truth\, Meaning\, Happiness\, and the 
 Man Who Found Them All (Crown Harmony\, 2006-7)\, was a national 
 bestseller. \n\nBut his “origin story” begins in his hometown\, and he 
 often comes back to West Orange to visit his old haunts. Over the last 
 years he has witnessed demographic shifts in town that he sees as a 
 microcosm of many suburban metro areas. In this entertaining and 
 informative talk\, he shares insights and stories of fascinating people and 
 places around the world...and good old’ WO.\n\nA lively Q&A and book
