Three expert speakers will be giving talks on How to Think as part of Harrogate's Berwins Salon North in September.

Berwins Salon North is a cabaret-style series of events sponsored by Harrogate-based Berwins Solicitors, which renewed its sponsorship at the beginning of this year.

Martin Whincup, associate director at Berwins, said:

The speakers, hosted by Salon North founder Helen Bagnall, will have 25 minutes to deliver their TED-style talks at the Crown Hotel in Harrogate. Talks will be spaced by intervals that provide an opportunity for attendants to get drinks and chat.

Comedian, writer and broadcaster Robin Ince, will explore his lifelong love of books and bookshops, and reveal what goes on inside the head of a bibliomaniac.

Sophie Scott, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, will explore how the brain affects our personalities and behaviours.

After a decade of living with panic attacks and anxiety, writer, poet and musician Tim Clare will share his experiences of what did and didn’t work, and how he came to rethink anxiety.

The event is produced by Harrogate International Festivals.

Tickets for the event, which takes place on Thursday, September 7 at 7.30pm, are available from the Harrogate International Festival website or by calling the box office on 01423 562303.
