[close] Hi! I'm Irene, a busy professional juggling work, life, family, community service, adventures, and a love of books. What I need, and what I’m hoping you’ll love, is a trusted circle of fellow adventurers. Others who enjoy the feel of a buzzing tavern full of fascinating stories and ideas. Others willing to meet someone unexpected and learn something new. Others open to taking off their hat and cloak in order to be real. WHO: I'm seeking curious, brave-hearted, open-minded souls who love books. You should be a mid-career professional -- not in your first 5 years working and not 5 years from retirement. WHEN: The “Inquiring Minds Book Club” meets the last Thursday of the month, 4-5 pm PST on Zoom (with some exceptions due to travel or holidays). WHAT: Our books are all nonfiction driven by the curiosity of those that attend. We spend two months on each book so that we can explore, meditate, and allow the ideas to percolate into our being. Thus, we discuss questions and quotes the first month, then reflect more deeply about insights and inquiries in month two. Those who attend help select the new book. To read or not to read the book is up to you. Come anyway. We're busy professionals, many of us with kids at home. If you don't read the book, we trust that it's for a good reason. Or maybe you just didn't like the book. No judgment. We’ve been meeting for several years now. Here's some of the titles we've read: Designing Your Work Life by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans Atomic Habits by James Clear Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Kimmerer Your Brain is a Time Machine by Dean Buonomano A Letter to My Daughter by Maya Angelou Emotional Agility by Susan David Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (I know, it's a movie but why not!) The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall. No long-term commitment is expected. Join every month or just for that one book you are dying to read. That said, I hope it quickly becomes the one Zoom meeting you would be devastated to miss.
