Book Club - "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus

“In order to understand the world, one has to turn away from it on occasion.”

In every page, we are challenged to ask: What makes a life worth living? And in a world without guarantees, can the act of living itself be its own kind of revolt?

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus walks us to the edge of the meaning of life, staring into the void not to fall, but to choose deliberately to live!

He explores what it means to confront the absurd - the gap between our deep desire for meaning and the indifferent universe that offers none.

We imagine Sisyphus, endlessly pushing his rock, not as a tragic figure... but as a free one.

What if revolt, passion, and freedom are enough?

• Genres: Philosophy, Existentialism, Essay, Modern Classics
• Pages: ~155, paperback

Looking forward to a conversation about absurdity, inner rebellion, and the strange lightness that can come from accepting life just as it is :-)

#### 🧷 Book Club Guidelines

-----------------------------------------------------

• Please read the entire book - Summaries or cover blurbs don’t count.
• Only attend if you’re on the attendee list.
• Listen actively, without interrupting.
• Engage with ideas, not individuals. We’re here to explore, not to argue.
• Stay present - phones away, attention in the room with physical people.
• Avoid no-shows and last-minute dropouts - they take a spot from someone else.

↳ If this happens, please get in touch, otherwise you’ll be removed from the next meetup.
↳ If repeated, you may be removed from the group.

-----------------------------------------------------

#### 💶 Participation Fee

-----------------------------------------------------

A €5 organizational fee (incl. Platform fee + rent) is kindly requested 48hours before each meetup.

↳ If you have PayPal, please transfer it in advance here.
↳ If not, you can bring cash and place it in the donation cup before we begin.

-----------------------------------------------------

#### 🚫 Respect & Community Integrity

-----------------------------------------------------

This is a community we build together - not a commercial service we consume, but a shared safe space grounded in mutual respect and trust.

Harassment or insults of any kind - whether in-person or online - based on culture, religion, profession, or identity will result in an immediate ban.

Similarly, failing to pay the fee (which covers rent, platform, and organizational costs) after committing to do so undermines that trust and shared responsibility. It will result in exclusion from future meetups.
