Meet the Author Robert J. Brust Author of Human Understanding: An Engineer's Analysis of Life, Getting to the Basics
Monday, April 29 - 6:30pm | Community Room
“Do you really know why you think the way you do?"
Robert Brust PE, SE, is a structural engineer who has worked on some of the country’s more well-known buildings. Brust began his lengthy search for human understanding after a tragedy: his son died, causing him to reexamine all of his assumptions about how best to live. What he learned, from looking at problem solving and life from an analytical way – from an engineer’s perspective is the premise for his book.
Sponsored by The Friends of the Library. Copies of David’s books will be available for purchase and signing.
