Join us for a casual meeting to discuss our book club pick this month: How to Know a Person by David Brooks. It's also a chance to:

• Meet other members of our book club.
• Share thoughts and progress on other books you are reading.
• Brainstorm ideas for future book nominations.
• Consider which non-fiction genres are worth exploring.
• Discuss how to stay in touch while reading (e.g., GroupMe).
• Swap books – feel free to bring a few to exchange!

This is not our main discussion group for How to Know a Person (that happens on March 6th) but a relaxed opportunity to meet the group, connect, and chat about our progress so far.

Grab a coffee, and let’s share ideas and inspiration! Looking forward to seeing you there! ☕️📚

How to Know a Person by David Brooks is a deeply insightful exploration of human connection and the art of truly understanding others. Brooks argues that in an increasingly fragmented and fast-paced world, we’ve lost the ability to see people fully - their dreams, struggles, and individuality. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and personal anecdotes, the book provides practical tools for cultivating empathy, curiosity, and active listening in our interactions.

Brooks invites readers on a transformative journey to improve relationships, deepen connections, and foster a sense of community by seeing others not just as they present themselves, but as they are at their core. It’s a call to elevate everyday encounters into meaningful opportunities for growth, understanding, and human flourishing.

This book will spark thought-provoking discussions about our own practices in relationships and inspire ways to engage more deeply with the people in our lives.
