About us
Looking for conversations that actually make you think? Join us at NJ deep and Interesting Conversations, where we explore the philosophy and psychology of multiple cultures, and the big questions that shape how we see the world.
We're a community of curious minds who believe that the best discussions happen when people really listen to each other. Whether we're talking about current belief systems, human nature, or how we make sense of modern life, we create space for everyone to share their perspective. All you need is genuine curiosity and an open mind.
What makes our group different? We focus on understanding, not winning arguments. We come from different backgrounds, cultures, and viewpoints, and that diversity makes our conversations richer. Some of our discussions might challenge your assumptions (in a good way), and that's exactly the point. We're here to explore ideas together, ask thoughtful questions, and learn from experiences different from our own.
From philosophical discussions to our book club, we welcome anyone interested in conversations that go deeper than everyday small talk. Whether you're new to these topics or have been thinking about them for years, you'll find a welcoming community ready to explore ideas with you.
Come connect with people who value curiosity, respect different perspectives, and enjoy discovering new ways of thinking about the world.

Book Discussion: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt, Part 1 (Rescheduled)
Panera Bread in Paramus, 165 NJ-4, Paramus, NJ, USHello everyone,
Get ready for our next book discussion! This time we're diving into something that affects all of us: why is it so hard to talk about politics and religion? Is there something fundamentally broken in how we communicate, or are we missing something deeper about human nature and society? Jonathan Haidt offers a fascinating perspective in his book The Righteous Mind.
The book has four parts, and we're meeting on February 14th to discuss Part One. In this first section, Haidt challenges a big assumption most of us have, that we make moral decisions by thinking things through carefully. Turns out, it's the opposite.
If you've ever wondered why arguments about moral issues never seem to go anywhere, or why smart people can look at the same situation and come to completely different conclusions, this book offers some real answers. It's a dense topic, but super relevant to understanding ourselves and the divisions we're seeing everywhere.
See you on February 14th!
