ROBERT E. LEE and ME by Ty Seidule

Zoom

Author Ty Seidule grew up revering Robert E. Lee. Now, as a retired Brigadier General and Professor Emeritus of History at West Point, his view has radically changed. Part history lecture, part meditation on the Civil War and its fallout, and part memoir, this book challenges the deeply held legends and myths of the Confederacy.

Your Brain is Great… Except When It’s Not

Vourla Cafe 1860 Tamiami Trail, Naples, FL

While a little biased, neuroscientists believe the human brain is the most complex thing in the known universe. How is it that this three-pound mass can figure out how to successfully transplant a heart and then get stumped with a simple math problem? How is it that we can remember words of songs and then forget where we put the TV remote? Ever wonder how the letters FOX or CNN can turn the critical thinkers into biased haters? Our brain can lead us to do great things and then turn around and make us do things we regret. Join Dr. Steve Robbins for an insightful and fun look at how we might do more of the former and less of the latter.
