Who has changed the way you understand yourself or the world around you? Join Sarah Ruhl, author of this year’s Buffs One Read selection, Lessons from My Teachers, for a conversation about how we learn from one another, the circumstances that change us and how we continue to grow throughout our lives.

Based on her popular class at Yale, Lessons from My Teachers is anchored in stories both personal and universal, drawing on Ruhl’s experiences with her parents and children, with schoolteachers, creative influences and beyond. Lessons from My Teachers reflects on the people we learn from throughout our lives—and the unexpected ways we become teachers to others.
