The Wellmaniac and the Introvert
Adventurous journalists Brigid Delaney, bestselling author of Wellmania and Reasons Not to Worry, and Jenny Valentish, acclaimed author of Woman of Substances and Everything Harder Than Everyone Else, will talk about how existential dilemmas have stimulated some of their wildest escapades. As they discuss their latest books — Brigid’s book on Stoicism, The Seeker and The Sage, and reformed sociophobe Jenny’s The Introvert's Guide to Leaving the House — they’ll reveal the hard lessons and fraught truths that have made them two of Australia’s most compelling writers. With Tracee Hutchison.
