Practical Fairy Tales for Everyday Living:

General Semantics Fables to Improve

Your Thinking and Communicating Abilities

An Online Lecture Series Featuring

Dr. Martin H. Levinson

May 4-25

The Institute of General Semantics is pleased to sponsor an online lecture series to be taught by IGS Trustee and Past President Martin H. Levinson, author of 14 books, including the highly popular Practical Fairy Tales for Everyday Living. The series will consist of 4 sessions, each 90 minutes long, taking place via Zoom.  

The lectures will focus on effective ways to evaluate people and situations through stories contained in Practical Fairy Tales for Everyday Living, a personal improvement book based on formulations from general semantics. Registrants for the course will be sent an e-copy of the book before the first session, and there will be ample time for discussion.

The lecture series is offered free of charge, but registration is required. Registrants will receive the Zoom link in advance of the series.
