Paragraphs On Padre Boulevard - More Than a Bookstore
"Meaningful living is choosing your passions over your fears. It is accepting what you cannot control and focusing on what is in your power. Meaningful living is intentional, effective and respectful. Meaningful lives are built decision by decision, one day at a time."
On Friday, November 13, from 6:00 pm until whenever..., Houston author and psychotherapist, Christopher F. Brown, LCSW, MBA, will be at Paragraphs to discuss and sign his beautiful self-help-meets-coffee-table book, The Art of Meaningful Living. The book which is a collaboration between Brown and his fellow Houstonian artist, John Palmer, illustrates concepts accepted by mental health professionals like psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social workers.
More importantly, it is a gorgeous book, full of incredible artwork, which can be used by anyone wanting to build the life he or she has always wanted and yet it can be left out for everyone to enjoy.
They have had events in Washington DC, Houston and are scheduled to visit other metropolitan areas on their book tour so I am thrilled to have the opportunity to host this author at Paragraphs.
