Playing for Social Good: Building a Better World Together by Exploring Why We Do What We Do

LOAS I 2014 Chairs are
Stephanie & Will Ronco

 A thrilling week of exploration into how we understand ourselves and interact with the world around us, and how we can work together to create a better future. We’ll also share workshops, music, and worship to nourish the mind, replenish the soul, and tan the body. Join us – for fun!

 Theme Speaker: Dan Ariely, Ph. D., will be speaking on this year's theme, leading the conference in an exploration of play, work, and why we do what we do.

 Dan is the best selling author of…

·    Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions

·     The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home

·     The Honest Truth about Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone -- Especially Ourselves
