Book of the Month

In our last chapter, The Unpersuadables, Will Storr painted a compelling picture of the human, story-seeking brain—where above truth sits personal truth, and where the narratives we create can trap us in beliefs that serve neither ourselves nor the world around us.

Where Storr warns of the traps of story, Febos reveals its promise—personal narrative, memoir, as explored in Body Work: The Radical Power of Personal Narratives. Here, personal stories are not cages but openings: instruments of self-understanding, empowerment, and change.

Part memoir, part philosophical guide to writing, Febos shows how personal narratives can act as forces of transformation—political, creative, intimate, and communal.

Febos raises questions on the ethics of personal truth, on the politics of ‘marginalised stories,’ on the depiction of sexual intimacy, and on narrative as a means to revisit one’s journey—a confession to the self, and to others.

If this feels out of your wheelhouse, all the more reason to step into it—real daring lives just beyond the boundaries of our comfort.

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

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.
