June Soul & Sip Book Club ✨ 📚

Soul & Sip Book Club - Sixth Gathering

Book: Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert
We’re excited to invite you to our sixth Soul & Sip gathering! This month, we’ll dive into Stumbling on Happiness, a fascinating exploration of how our minds perceive happiness, why we often mispredict what will make us happy, and how we can cultivate more joy in our daily lives.
Whether this is your first meeting or you’ve joined us from the start, this session is all about connection, insight, and shared reflection.

What to Expect
Our evening will be engaging, thoughtful, and fun. Together, we’ll:
✨ reconnect and welcome new faces
✨ explore key themes from Stumbling on Happiness
✨ share personal insights, experiences, and “aha” moments
✨ discuss how the book’s concepts show up in real life
✨ sip something comforting while enjoying a cozy community atmosphere
Expect stimulating discussion + personal reflection + laughter + good vibes.
