Book of the Month

In our previous chapter, we delved into the enduring enigma of free will—questioning not only its existence, but also the far-reaching consequences of its absence, both on the individual psyche and the fabric of society.

The discussion led us in various directions. For some, free will must exist—the thought that it doesn’t is inconceivable. For others, it clearly does not. And for many, the question remains ambiguous: to what extent does it exist and whether it functions in the way we intuitively assume.

It is nearly impossible to question the existence of free will and its ramifications without pausing to consider religion—The existence of free will underpins the very notion of moral responsibility; determining whether we are to be judged as good or evil, and whether we are destined for salvation or damnation.

For this reason, we now turn to the topic of religion in How Religion Evolved—and Why It Endures by Robin Dunbar. Every society in human history has lived with religion. This sacred, spiritual impulse has evolved, taken countless forms, and continues to endure.

Dunbar explores how our minds are wired for spiritual thought, and how religion—far from being a mere cultural accident—has played a vital role in helping us remain healthy, connected, and bonded as communities.

If you have a problem getting yourself a copy of the book/s, get in touch!

About Us

Welcome to "Curious Collective" – A Non-Fiction Book Club for Curious Minds.

If you find yourself here, chance is, you are curious. You are a wanderer, an explorer of ideas, seeking the 'whys' and 'hows' of our world, of what makes us human.

In a culture dominated by “hyper-connectivity”, we often lose sight of what truly matters; the treasure of ancient wisdom, the beauty of curiosity, and the profound meaning of community.

The Curious Collective is here to rekindle those flames. 🔥

We believe in the power of shared ideas, meaningful conversations, and sharing the journey.

As Joseph Addison wisely said, "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." Our collective mission is to exercise our minds, curiosity, and sense of belonging to a community of like-minded people.

We are not: Intellectual W*nkers or debate-club warriors here. We keep it real, there is no intellectual or self-righteous snobbery here.

We are: Ordinary humans who crave knowledge, connection—someone to chat with, share ideas, and journey alongside.

Tips:
I suggest having a notebook/ a place where you can take notes of the most interesting parts & thoughts you had - this is going to be very helpful for the discussion.

Stay Curious – for there's always more to discover.
