Join us at Coast Wine Bar in the Outer Sunset to meet and greet award-winning journalist and surfer Jaimal Yogis, author of The Fear Project.

In The Fear Project, Yogis sets out to better understand fear—why does it so often dominate our lives, what makes it tick, and is there even a way to use it to our advantage? In the process, he plunges readers into great white shark-infested waters and brings them along to surf 40+ foot waves in the dead of winter. In this entertaining, often laugh-out-loud narrative, Yogis also treats himself like a guinea pig for all of his research, pushing his own fears repeatedly to the limits—in his sport, in his life, and in love. Ultimately, Yogis shares with his readers the best strategies to emerge triumphant from even the most paralyzing of fears.

Come by Coast Wine Bar at 7PM on January 31st for this party celebrating the book, complete with booze, book signing, surf videos and to hear Yogis speak about the process of writing the book. We'll see you there!

Despite not having traveled abroad until he was 23, Matt Kepnes decided to quit his job and travel the world. Several years and countries later, he's picked up a lot of tips on how to travel more creatively, cheaply, and longer. His blog, which draws hundreds of thousands of readers a month, has been featured on CNN, the New York Times, Huffington Post, BBC, and more. To say we're excited to be hosting him on Thursday, March 28th at 7pm for a discussion of his new book, How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, would be a bit of an understatement. Meaning: we'll be there with pens and notebooks in hand as Matt offers advice and answers your questions about pertinent issues like

• Avoiding bank fees
• Finding cheap airfare
• How to teach overseas
• And much more
