The Book Club
What grows from settling in with a good book?
I sometimes feel like I was raised by books. From reading Golda Meir’s autobiography as an impressionable 15-year-old, to Antjie Krog’s poetry and discovering the wealth of Canadian authors I didn’t know about when moving to Canada, books opened my mind and broadened my horizons. When things happen in my life, I reach for a book that explores the idea - help has so often been the cracking of one cover away.
What makes me happier than reading? Talking about what I learn from books with friends.
So, welcome to The Book Club! It’s good to see you here.
What happens at book club…
The book club process is pretty simple:
Pick up a copy of the book - actual paper, e-book, audiobook… whatever format works for you.
Read the book - or if it’s unreadable, try Dan Pink’s formula - read 100 pages minus your age - if it’s still unreadable, put the book down.
Join the book club on Zoom. We’ll talk about what we learned from the book or from giving ourselves permission to stop reading.
At the end of the session, we’ll each commit to an action we can implement in our lives based on the learning from the experience.
Ready to join?
As a member, you'll have access to all our gatherings, recordings from past sessions, and a voice in selecting books we explore together. It's a space to connect with curious people over books that might just change your life.
Annual membership automatically renews at $35 per year. Cancel anytime - you'll have access through the end of your billing period
Come see if The Book Club is for you. Join us for one gathering and decide from there.

How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, or just going along?

She shares fascinating research and stories from individuals who acted with courage in pivotal moments. We learn how to notice when we drift from our True Yes and True No, and how to defy expectations in the moments it matters most.
Through offering everyday strategies, Defy reveals how we can show up for ourselves and others personally, professionally, and beyond.

How To Know a Person
DAVID BROOKS
Thursday, April 22, 2027 6 - 7:30 pm Mountain Time
If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to?
These are the questions David Brooks explores in his new book. He draws on philosophy, art, history, psychology, and neuroscience to offer a hopeful vision of our capacity to relate to one another.
In the end, connecting to others is a path to connecting what is disconnected in our communities. This book offers a path to expand how we see and connect with others and how we might be deeply seen and connected in the process.
