Notion of being stuck is explored

The first in the spring series of Green Books events will be a session tomorrow (February 3) with Greening Steyning co-chairman and author Paul Hannam talking about his Sunday Times and Amazon bestseller The Wisdom of Groundhog Day: How to improve your life one day at a time.

Spokeswoman Sarah Slight said: “Can a movie change your life? Groundhog Day is considered one of the greatest comedies of all time and has also been interpreted as an influential spiritual movie.

“The term Groundhog Day has become a popular idiom to describe a feeling of repetition and is also a powerful metaphor for feeling stuck... and the world is stuck, and so are we in many ways.

“In his book Paul explains how and why we get trapped in our versions of Groundhog Day, when we repeat the same routines, habits, thoughts, feelings and behaviours day after day.

“In this session of Green Books, Paul will connect ecology, the social sciences, environmental science, psychology and spirituality to explain how we have created our own global Groundhog Day that we need to transform as soon as possible!”

The event is online and free. Donations welcome. For more details, visit greening steyning.org
