Book Club - Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World
Details
For our next meeting of the Therapeutic Book Club, we will discuss Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World by Adam Grant.
Summary: When we vibe with other people, it fuels our happiness and success, yet building meaningful ties is one of the most pressing problems of our time. As face-to-face interaction gives way to digital screens, communication gets outsourced to AI, and the world becomes more polarized, our loneliness crisis shows no signs of slowing.
To reveal how we can forge faster, stronger, and longer bonds, Adam Grant offers groundbreaking studies, expert insights, and myth-busting stories.
Along the way, Grant also opens up about his personal struggles to find his place as a shy introvert and the lessons that propelled his transformation into an enthusiastic convener. Through these examples and more, Grant uncovers the keys to creating deeper relationships and tighter communities.
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 by Esther Perel, and The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Maté.
The event will take place at Kube Coworking, upstairs in the Open Hall. You can buy refreshments at the adjoining cafe before the event. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Anita (Niah) Sommers or Kat LeRoy.
