Secret Society

### No pressure. No judgment. Just books, curiosity, and good company. **What to Expect** This is a relaxed, judgment-free book club created for people who love books, are getting back into reading, or simply enjoy being around curious minds. There is **no assigned book** and **no expectation to finish anything**. Read at your own pace — whether it’s one page, one chapter, or a book you’re still thinking about months later. Come share what you’re currently reading, something you’ve read before, or even a book you hope to start someday. The focus is not on how much you’ve read, but on the conversations, perspectives, and connections that unfold. We’ll begin with casual mingling, ease into a light icebreaker, and then let the discussion flow naturally. Expect thoughtful conversations, diverse viewpoints, and a welcoming mix of readers — fast, slow, and somewhere in between — all while enjoying coffee, tea, or your favorite beverage. **What to Bring** • Yourself • A book you’re reading, have read, or want to read • Curiosity and an open mind **Location** Art & Dine @ The Springs Souk (Near Emirates Hills, Springs, Meadows, Lakes, Hattans) **Policy** • Attendees are required to avail any item from the menu • Please be respectful and listen when someone else is speaking **Parking** Free mall Parking **Contact** Rinku — WhatsApp +971 50 558 2680 This is a warm space to slow down, meet new people, exchange ideas, and feel inspired — without pressure, deadlines, or judgment.

**Puzzle Fun** 🧩➗ A relaxed and fun gathering for anyone who enjoys puzzles, mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and curious conversations. The goal of this event is not just to solve problems, but to encourage the kind of thinking that creates independent mathematicians and deep problem-solvers. The event is divided into two parts: • Segment One: Puzzle & Problem-Solving Round We’ll warm up with fun high-school-level maths problems, logic puzzles, Sudoku-style thinking, and other mathematical challenges. Feel free to bring your own puzzles, books, or favourite problems to share with the group! A scientific calculator may occasionally be useful. • Segment Two (Optional): Logic & Proof-Writing If enough brave souls are interested, we’ll explore the strange and beautiful world of mathematical logic and proof-writing — the foundation of higher mathematics. If not, we’ll simply continue solving more puzzles and interesting problems together. An online group will also be created for discussions, resources, and keeping track of what we cover, since mathematics is a subject that builds continuously over time. Please bring: ✏️ Pens 📒 A notebook or plenty of A4 paper 🧠 Curiosity WhatsApp group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5)

\*Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion\* by Robert Cialdini explores six key principles of persuasion: reciprocity, commitment and consistency, social proof, liking, authority, and scarcity. Cialdini, a renowned psychologist, explains how these principles are used by marketers, salespeople, and others to influence behavior. Through engaging examples and research, he reveals how people are persuaded to comply with requests, often unconsciously. The book also offers insights on resisting manipulation. A seminal work in social psychology, it’s widely praised for its practical applications in understanding human behavior and decision-making.

In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
