The founder of the nation's first public interest law firm, and first public interest law school, he ran the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and was the founder of Demos, a New York-based think tank. During his years of activism, he began to see ways to develop his inner resources to complement his cognitive and adversarial skill, a journey described in his book, Making Waves and Riding the Currents: Activism and the Practice of Wisdom (Berrett-Koehler). This book illustrates the life-enhancing benefits of integrating a commitment to social justice with the cultivation of wisdom. $5 at the door (no advance tickets), with preferred seating for Town Hall members.
