Tanveer Ahmed's Fragile Nation

Fragile Nation is a glimpse into the inner lives of psychiatrist Dr Tanveer Ahmed’s patients in the melting pot of outer Sydney and regional Australia. Through case studies and social observation, it is an account of the modern condition viewed through the microcosm of the consulting room. Funny, insightful, heartbreaking and inspiring, this gripping book will entertain and challenge.

Tanveer Ahmed is an Australian psychiatrist and author, an elected councillor for Canada Bay in Sydney, and a regular contributor to Channel 7's Sunrise, and the Spectator.

We are launching Fragile Nation in Brisbane on Monday December 5, 6:00pm for 6:30pm at The Alliance Hotel, Boundary Street, Spring Hill. $15 for non-members, and $10 for members (first drink included free).To book click here.

I will be interviewing Tanveer, and there will also be time for lots of questions from the floor. He continues the line of insightful guest speakers we have had. If you were at the "Trump, Brexit and the Forgotten People" event with Henry Olsen, then you'd probably not be surprised at yesterday's USA election result, and you'd have well-developed ideas about what it means for Australia.

We haven't had a function in a while, and this will be our last of the year, so come along, reconnect with old friends, and have some festive cheer.
