Rationality Book Club

We are now reading Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness, by Jamil Zaki.

On Nov. 7 we will discuss the Introduction and the first 2 chapters:

- Introduction
- Ch 1 - Signs and Symptoms
- Ch 2 - The Surprising Wisdom of Hope

At the Nov. 7 meeting we will also select the next book to read after this one. Bring your ideas and books to nominate.

I look forward to seeing you!
