Why a book-club?
The book club is a chance for us to dive deeper into the big ideas in science, philosophy, and culture, by discussing the most popular non-fiction books of our time. It is designed to be slow and deliberate to allow us to test our understanding, ask tough questions, have our opinions challenged and build a more robust worldview. It is a deliberate challenge to the passive consumption of junk information encouraged by our technological overlords. We will dwell on each book for weeks, rather than rush through them in hours, and in the process, enjoy some delicious drinks! We'll start off with a quick spiel then split everyone up into small 'breakout' groups of 4 or 5 people. We'll switch every 30 mins or so.

What is this book about?
The bestselling author of The Righteous Mind and The Coddling of the American Mind draws on philosophical wisdom and scientific research to show how the meaningful life is closer than you think.
The Happiness Hypothesis is a book about ten Great Ideas. Each chapter is an attempt to savor one idea that has been discovered by several of the world's civilizations -- to question it in light of what we now know from scientific research, and to extract from it the lessons that still apply to our modern lives and illuminate the causes of human flourishing.

How do I prepare?
