A book club & zoom meet ups are a great idea. I also think the idea of doing some small remote workshops that support your research would be exciting … I also would love to attend virtually when you & your peers like Berne Brown & Simon Sinek engage in a round table discussions … keep thinking out loud & sharing Adam, your words always lift me up … your my Ted Lasso ☺️

Honored. Thank you for the great ideas (and for not comparing me to Roy or Coach Beard!)

Except we all need our disagreeable truth teller…Roy is my favorite 🤩

I love the Zoom book club idea. Perhaps something two-way & interactive like a Discord/WhatsApp/or Voxer channel for folks hoping to improve at improving?

I can't wait to read. Curious if you'd ever do a zoom book club or town hall just for college students. They are a special generation, teeming with potential as well as angst. If so, I'd love you to include Lewis & Clark College in Portland Oregon. Easy to find me online. We already incorporate your writing in our Innovation at Work (includes an off-campus internship) class.

A book club with Adam will be really great as I love listening to the insights he brings to personal growth.

without reading this article, we have started an offline book club to include three books "Give and Take", "Think Again" and the upcoming new book as mandatory reading and discussion materials. Sounds like we have a local chapter already started. ;)

Hi Adam, one word : Thrilled! Book club by Zoom is fine? Or a little Telegram group? I like how "Quiet" author Susan Cain has built up a really strong movement around her book. Maybe we could copy some of what she does? 🤔 I would love to see a highly engaged community, like how the authors of "Designing your work life" did. Maybe we could recommend each other jobs or endorse each other, etc. Putting theory into practice, that is. Since we would all have the same framework. If you would like to discuss more, I'm at :

One thing I came to know is that on Telegram, you can even organize a chat into various threads and subtopics. It's highly organizeable! (If there's such a word! 😅😅🤭)

I would love a zoom book club. I can't figure out if it should be regional, random or organized some other specific way. Let me know if I can help!

Hi Adam! Congratulations! I loved Plan B and Think Again. I'm reading Mindset from Carol Dweck at the moment and learning how to get the best out of me and improve how I raise my toddler. The description of your book sounds like my perfect next read! I'll pre-order now for Kindle

A book club sounds great. Please offer some timings that those in the other side of the Atlantic can attend as well 🙏
