Steve Lopez 

Register:   SOLD OUT

Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez offers advice on decision making and how to find the next path in life. With his trademark poignancy, wisdom, and humor, Lopez establishes a useful polemic in planning ahead, as he also evaluates questions of identity, financial limitations, and ultimately what to do with your life when the obituary pages are no longer filled with strangers.

Lopez, a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and winner of multiple national awards, has been a journalist since 1971. He is the author of Independence Day – an Amazon best-seller, and The Soloist – which won the PEN USA award for literary non-fiction and was the subject of a DreamWorks movie, and two collections of his LA Times columns.
