What we’re about
Looking to connect with fellow bookworms in the Mountain View area? You've come to the right place! We are a group of avid readers who like to stay up-to-date on the latest in literature, while still enjoying the classics. And we're not all work and no play-- there will be some socializing and maybe a cocktail/coffee or two, too! Potential books will be selected by members and curated from book awards lists (think Man Booker Prize, National Book Award, etc.), and voted on by members in advance of each meet up. I hope you'll join us!

The Myths of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky
Red Rock Coffee, 201 Castro St, Mountain View, CA, USThe Myths of Happiness: What Should Make You Happy, but Doesn't, What Shouldn't Make You Happy, but Does. By Sonja Lyubomirsky
Kepler's | Books Inc
Non‑Fiction · 336 pages · Paperback · 2014.
Amazon Best Book of the Month (Psychology & Social Sciences). Critically praised by The New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews.
This book uncovers common misconceptions about happiness, revealing what truly influences lasting well‑being. “Provocative and fresh” – Publishers Weekly. “Informative and engaging” – Kirkus Reviews.
From the publisher:
Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of The How of Happiness, turns her research-based eye toward the “myths” we hold about happiness—beliefs that milestones like marriage, wealth, parenthood, or career success will forever secure our joy, or that adversity will surely devastate us. Lyubomirsky argues these black‑and‑white expectations distort our emotional responses and prevent us from recognizing opportunity in the messy middle of life.
