What we’re about
[This is a hybrid meetup -online and in person! 😁]
In love with personal development? In love with reading? Well, then, this is the group for you! This is a space for real and raw discussions, where you are invited to bring your whole self to the table, not just the 'good vibes only' version. Even if you feel like absolute crud on the day and just want to giggle at our lively discussion with your camera off, that's cool too 😁.
We discuss a featured personal development book every month and outline strategies for implementing key take-aways for the betterment of our own lives as well as for the lives of those around us.
Are you writing a personal development book? Well, this is a great opportunity to connect with a community of readers interested in the genre!
These meetings are facilitated by a full-time Life Coach (yours truly) and former university educator with over a decade of international experience in facilitating discussions across groups from various cultural backgrounds and beliefs. We value inclusivity 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✊🏽🖤💛❤, and insist on respect discussion of differing views.

See all- Quiet, by Susan Cain | Meeting #49!Link visible for attendees
Does being the loudest person in the room make you the most powerful? Heck no! Some of the most influential voices throughout history have been the quiet ones. So, join us in September to discuss a book all about the hidden strengths of introverts and what they can teach us about creativity, leadership, and connection, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, by Susan Cain, the New York Times bestseller that launched a 'quiet revolution'! If you're in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, come join us in person at The Loop in Thao Dien! Otherwise, join us on Zoom 😊

Podcast: Thriving Between the Lines - Examining personal development books through the lens of intersectionalityAnd, yes, it's okay if you haven't read the book, or if you don't like the book. Join us anyway 😁.
From the book jacket:
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts: Rosa Parks, Chopin, Dr. Seuss, Steve Wozniak that we owe many of the great contributions to society.
In Quiet, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts from a witty, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and, equally important, how they see themselves.
