Book of the Month

In our last chapter, we explored The Righteous Mind, digging into the roots of moral psychology and the tensions between reason and intuition, the division between the left and the right.

We saw how each side can fall into a kind of moral self-righteousness—so certain of being right that other perspectives become invisible.

It’s this blindness that David Foster Wallace addresses with piercing clarity in This Is Water—originally delivered as a commencement speech at Kenyon College in 2005.

Wallace confronts the quiet, everyday trap of self-absorption—the illusion that we are the centre of the universe. With dry humour and philosophical precision, he challenges us to notice the invisible architecture of daily life: the default settings of our attention, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ease with which we drift into meaninglessness.

This Is Water is not about grand theories—it’s about the discipline of awareness. Of choosing how to see, and what to worship.

Just thirty minutes to read, yet it carries a quiet power—reminding us that insight needs no flourish, and depth no disguise.

If you’d rather listen, the original speech is only 22 minutes long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCbGM4mqEVw"

Make a commitment 👏 📅

As the spots fill up pretty quickly, be quick to sign up - but do so ONLY if you make a real commitment to join.

We have an amazing, committed community that generously shows up, contributes, and gives its best. Sign up only if you are committed and eager to attend. Mark your calendar and make a commitment to yourself and your community.

Discussion

For the discussion, we’ll divide in smaller groups of around 4-6 as to have a more intimate environment to facilitate conversations where everyone can feel welcome to participate at their pace.

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.
