Books Discussion (Non-fiction)

Hey dear friends :)

This is a spontaneous joint event with another group Familiar Strangers.

Have you been reading books quite a lot lately but there is an internal voice inside telling that what you read must be shared with others ? In topics like psychology, philosophy, history, politics etc....
Do you miss having a group of people with whom you can discuss ideas out of non-fiction books ?
If the answer is yes then you’re welcome to join the non-fiction books discussion.
Requirements:

• Only bring 1-2 books maximum ( or notes you took earlier from them)
• Genres have to be non-fiction yet also strictly non-religious, -spiritual, -academic or self-help at all
• Capacity to listen each other deeply and try to synthesize or meaningfully criticize ideas provided

What to expect:

• A small table where everyone gets heard
• A warm, safe, judgment-free atmosphere
• Strangers when you arrive, a little more familiar by the time you leave

-------------------------------------------------------------
Strategies may help the discussion
1.Please try to answer the question or ask a more fundamental one, rather than substitute with something else
2.Please state your point first then support it by examples/explanations. We try to stick to the main topic, if you have many ideas/examples we can talk after the event :
3.We try to let people finish the statements. However, if you talk too long without clear main points, we will intervene
!!! You are kindly asked to sign up for events, or at least let hosts know before you come. You will be kicked out from the group after 3 times attending without registration

!!! Please be careful that we will discuss in English :

A reminder: Due to the capacity of our group, we will select sincere and interesting answers if there are too many people
