MeaningSphere Book Club - Enchantment
Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
Online, Zoom
Description
Mark your calendars for June 27 at 12pm EDT! We're thrilled to announce that our next book club selection is Enchantment, by Katherine May.
In the pages of Enchantment, May works through the post-pandemic experience of feeling overwhelmed, isolated, on-edge, and—a curse for someone who makes a living writing books, like 2020’s gorgeous hybrid memoir Wintering—unable to focus. Searching for another, less frantic way to live, the author explores the power of wonder and awe as an antidote to burnout and exhaustion.
Many of us can relate to the experience of feeling frantically busy all day, yet not accomplishing much; of being lonely despite being reachable 24/7. May has a deft way of weaving personal experiences, forgotten histories, and scientific research, all with a poet’s stark elegance. Her latest work promises to hold many practical revelations for those who are wondering how our worklives got like this, and how to improve our wellbeing by connecting back to the natural world and to one another.

🗣 Deep Conversations: Engage in thought-provoking discussions, share personal insights, and collectively unravel the insights in May’s latest book.
🌈 Inclusive Environment: Whether you're a seasoned professional, a student, or navigating a career transition, everyone's voice is valued. Let's embrace the richness of our collective experiences in a safe and welcoming space designed for meaningful interaction.
🤝 Opportunity to Connect: Meet interesting people from various professional backgrounds who are interested in experiencing more wonder!
💪 Actionable Insights: Come away with practical tips and new perspectives inspired by the book and your fellow club members.
If you haven't had the chance to read the book, don't worry. While reading will enrich your experience, it's not a requirement. Your hosts Roz and Anna will provide key discussion points and themes from the book to make the conversation accessible and engaging for everyone.
