On Saturday, author and educator Aura Imbarus spoke to an enthusiastic audience at the Manhattan Beach Library about “The Happiness Gene.” Dr. Imbarus kept the audience engaged with her very interesting personal narrative, and explained what she had learned over the years about the power of positive thinking and how it can help one attain their life’s goals. Dr. Imbarus is a passionate speaker who connected well with the audience, and her one-hour talk stretched into almost two hours with many questions, which she happily answered. I would not hesitate to have Dr. Imbarus back to speak at the library again, as I am sure she would command any topic she set upon and would draw an interested audience.
