Reviving this Book Club: I'm still half way through the book Nudge.... NYC CATALYST/ SESA Member Eve would like to help out to revive this book club.
Simple: A Chapter a Week.
All the information that we need is out there we just have to access it.
We can change anything, a good support group can keep each other accountable. We may read it on our own, but if we have people to digest with each other, it will be more lasting.
To motivate and inspire each other to be the best we can be.
The goal on Tuesday to come in and debate which book will be the first and which one will be the second to start off with. This will allow time people pick up the book or reserve it at the library.

If you are a veteran meetup member or a newbie, as an organizer I have to work with members who actually show up. In order to ensure we have a mutual fun time.

2.) E-mail me at misscatalystnyc@gmail.com that you are coming, I can get a better sense to expect you and coordinate directly with you. RSVP is not enough.
3.) Finally! Please update your RSVP to reflect a true showing.
SESA member Ken recommended me to read Nudge by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. He said it has a catalyst effect. He read thru half way... Okay so i'm going to start off with this book....
Remember the time you had to read tons of books in a semester during college, or you are probably in that situation?
Well I'm a big promoter of life long learning. Knowledge is power. Barnes and Noble is my place to hang out when i need inspiration and hope. I tend to purchase books, skimmed them and not able to read it... Here is my list of book I would like to read.
Perhaps we can discuss them together. During these book club session, you can share a book list that you are reading, we can exchange book list. Or promote our must read book!
The aim is to read a book in two weeks. This will be a Bi-weekly event. (Note: This is an ambitious goal, I will modify this goal accordingly.)
I have these books already, if you have them too or would like to read some of these too, you can purchase your copy at the book store and start reading along with me. I'm open to increase my book knowledge with you. So we can do the same with your list.) Those who are interested in this book club concept, we can work together to develop this. I'm flexible. The point is group motivation to read your book list...
