If I hosted a dinner and anyone I invited was sure to come, I would invite Brene Brown. I really love her books about vulnerability and they have changed my life, and so I would love her and also Susan Cain, the author of Quiet, to be at the table. We would talk about introversion and vulnerability, and it would be such an engaging discussion. I would also invite one of my friends from college to dinner because he is a cool guy and we have a great friendship. We would probably talk about philosophy and movies together. Honestly it was hard for me to choose one person to invite. I would also love to invite Daisaku Ikeda; he is a philosopher, a peacebuilder and has had lots of dialogues with people around the world to foster friendship and create peace. If they was still alive, I would invite Aretha Franklin and also Tina Turner to dinner. We would have great conversations about music, and Tina and I would talk about Buddhism together. Honestly I would also love Michael McDonald there because he is one of my favorite singers. I would have to probably cater food for at least 100 people because I have so many people I would have loved to invite to dinner. Aretha would perform “Something He Can Feel” and “Call Me” and I would probably be sitting there with tears running down my face because I am finally getting to see my idol up front and close singing music for me. Tina would perform and I also would tear up because I would have finally seen her perform live (sadly in reality, I never got to go to one of her concerts.)
