Academy Award winner Goldie Hawn comes to 92NY for a lively daytime conversation with social psychologist Jonathan Haidt (author of The Anxious Generation) about her delightful new children’s book series, The After-School Kindness Crew — and the serious, joyful work of helping children grow into resilient, compassionate humans.
For more than five decades, Hawn has been a singular presence in American culture, beloved for her comedic brilliance and effervescent screen presence. For the past 20 years, she’s turned that same passion towards a different audience: children. Her new series (co-written with bestselling author Lin Oliver) introduces young readers to a trio of classmates whose adventures in friendship and kindness are filled with humor, heart, and just enough chaos — think surprise classroom escapades, a loose dog, and the occasional deep breath when it’s needed most.
The conversation will also explore the deeper through line of Hawn’s life’s work. Through the Goldie Hawn Foundation and MindUP, her pioneering educational program now reaching millions of children worldwide, she has helped bring mindfulness and emotional literacy into classrooms at a moment when both feel more essential than ever. How do we help children manage stress? Build optimism? Stay open to one another? Hawn brings practical insights along with wisdom and inspiration.
Join her for a conversation about storytelling, emotional well-being, and why kindness is not just a virtue, but a skill we can teach.
