Book #21: "Noise" by Daniel Kahneman & co
Details
Hello curious readers,
We voted on the above book this time. It is a bestseller and has impressive reviews on Goodreads.
The book is:
"From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the coauthor of Nudge, a revolutionary exploration of why people make bad judgments and how to make better ones—"a tour de force” (New York Times)."
We will all hopefully read it to the end. Reading the book is nonetheless NOT a must to participate in the event, but of course is a plus. Read/listen/watch simply anything about the book (video, podcast, summary, article, etc.). This would be actually an enrichment for the discussion, when different members different sources used.

In the last meetings, there were always members on the waiting list. If you knew that you are no longer able to participate in the event, please change your participation status so that members from the waiting list can take part in the event.
The admins will not influence who becomes a place or not. It is automatically regulated from Meetup on a "first come, first served" basis.
We have now two Telegram groups:
• Discussions: https://t.me/joinchat/4iIZCkJRNMMzMGZi
To discuss or post material related to the book of the months, to post book suggestions, events which might be interesting for the members (e. g. book exhibitions), etc.
• Main group: https://t.me/joinchat/--jTEkMnHUJjN2Ey
We post here general announcements of the group.
In the Telegram App one could hide his/her phone number. Messages not related to non-fiction books will be immediately deleted. Telegram allows a good moderation function so that possible not related messages will be deleted. Joining the telegram groups is not a necessity to keep updated about the new events, meetup will still do it. But for example, if you like to more intensively discuss a book, then the discussions group might be interesting for you.
