Better World Book Club

Feeling disconnected or overwhelmed and wondering what to do about it? This monthly book club is for people to engage with works on morality, philosophy, economics, sustainability, and degrowth among others. The goal is to better understand the world and our role in changing it.

Each month, I’ll also spotlight a local nonprofit and volunteer opportunity to help connect our conversations with real-world actions. The idea is that not everyone will be passionate about every topic but everyone will hopefully be passionate about some topic.

We will be meeting on the 4th Thursday @anisdayandnight at 7pm! The wonderful @pricklypearbookbus which is on-site will have books stocked to buy in person or online!

I truly believe that in the fight for a better world, every thoughtful conversation and every small act matters and this my step towards change, I hope you join me!

Our first book on Sept 25th will be The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Words are powerful and this book explores the power of stories and how they shape reality through three intertwining essays.

You can be a part of the discussions if you’ve read the whole book, a couple of pages or none at all but are simply interested in the topic. @pricklypearbookbus will have copies available online and in person! They are kind enough to give a discount if you buy through them! ‍↕️

I will also have journalists and poets come to share their real life experiences of the importance of writing and telling stories that matter! Amy Stansbury from The Austin Common will be one of our guest speakers.
