Andrea Griffith WarrenWhat should you say when someone offers to "bless you" after a sneeze? How should you respond when a theist argues we are a Christian nation? When a family member tries to push their beliefs on your children, how can you keep the peace? Is there a polite way to tell someone they're wrong? How should you respond when asked to say grace at someone else's home?

Andrea Griffith, the Social I.Q. Lady, teaches us to use Social Intelligence to manage our relationships with believers. Whether those relationships are personal, business or political one can learn how to combat superstition, religion and ignorance with grace, style and information.

Learn how Andrea went from die-hard Christian to staunch atheist. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and think as she tells her personal story of struggle, divorce, and rejection of a lie. Andrea will draw you in with her tale of hope and will help you discover your Socially Intelligent Atheist inside.

Andrea Griffith resides in Folsom with her husband and two of her sons, Sean and Ryan. Her oldest son Ben lives in the Los Angeles area and is a wonderful father to her grandson Owen. Her best-selling book, The Fruits and Greens Diet, is based on a naturalistic approach to dietary needs. Andrea's latest book on Atheist Etiquette is due out later this year. Meanwhile, you can read her brilliant blog at http://www.rawtada.com/Home_Page.html.
