For our next meeting of the Therapeutic Book Club, we will discuss *Don't Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering* by Joseph Nguyen

In this book, Nguyen outlines ways to overcome anxiety, self-doubt & self-sabotage without needing to rely on motivation or willpower, by focusing on the belief that although pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. The book provides strategies for achieving mental peace by recognizing that thoughts are just mental events, and by cultivating mindfulness and detaching from negative thought patterns, to ultimately create a more positive experience of reality.

The Therapeutic Book Club is aimed at self-discovery and self-reflection by exploring relevant themes and connecting with others in a safe environment. The group decides by vote which book will be read for the next meeting. The books are therapeutic in nature covering themes such as childhood trauma, anxiety, stress management and healthy relationships.

We are an open and non-judgemental group that welcomes a diversity of ideas and perspectives. This is also an inclusive event open to all genders.

Previous books we have read and discussed include [Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/27485) by Esther Perel, and [The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58537332-the-myth-of-normal?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=WEziuQszIH&rank=1) by Gabor Maté.

There is no charge for attendance but we recommend people purchase at least one drink at the venue. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Anita (Niah) Sommers or Kat LeRoy.
