Pledge any amount to join the book club: www.patreon.com/howtohuman About the Book Club: Hello Patrons, Thank you so much for your feedback. We have a clear winner, The Road Less Traveled. We officially have a book for our first book club! My dad sent me this book as a teenager, maybe to make up for his lack of fathering. Either way, I Resented the hell out of it and didn't read it. So this is going to be an exciting read. As an adult, I've seen this book come up enough times from people who I respect the hell out of, so I guess now is the time to revisit it. Thank you for agreeing to read it with me! This is going to be a doozy! So, what's the goal or purpose of this group? It's not to carry water for the author, or even to read it for reading sake. It's to get an opportunity to continue to work through the question of who you are and who you want to be. Who are you? Good question. You are a someone. Out of non-existence, you have emerged into existing. You exist. Even cooler, you're a conscious existence! You can think and reflect and observe your existing, and operate this incredible meat suit through the world. Sometimes a double-edged sword. But, here you are, you exist, you belong to a time, and this is your time, and one of the ways you can use your time is to get to know who you are. What excites you, what lights you up, how do you want to show up in the world, how do you want to spend your time here. It is finite. There is an end. You have a beginning time and an end time here in this existence. And we live in an information-rich time. And you have access to an incredible amount of ideas, and books are a great place to be exposed to new information. The point of this group is to read, process, and work through information on a deep and intentional level. So as you read along, don't just read the words. Process them, think about them, challenge them and see how it holds up, bounce it off your own experiences and framework, and take what you like and leave the rest. This experience is our experience as a group, but it is also your experience. So as we read, read to explore. Think about what information you would like to remember and keep in your back pocket as you go through this life. Write that shit down. So here's how it's going to work, the Live stream will be every Monday at 5pm pacific time on our patreon. It's okay if you can't make that time, you Although I'd love to interact with you if you can. I'm going to share my thoughts every week even if nobody is present. You can send in your thoughts and reflections on Sunday the day before, and I can represent you, or you can watch the stream and share your thoughts after the fact. It's Monday, September 20th right now, we're going to meet a week from now, on September 27th, as an introduction, and we'll go from there. The reading schedule is in the body of the patreon post, and we're going to average about ten pages a day. I'm excited to see you next week. If you're not already a patron, there's time to become one for any amount to join this group and read this book with us. patreon.com/howtohuman Get a copy of the road less traveled, and stay tuned for the Livestream link.
