How to join
A Book Club Near Me
Why You Need to Join a Book Club... NOW
Sharing buttons:
since I we found my love for books I've
been on a solo quest to read more and
the outcome of doing that has been
significantly positive but I don't want
to do with solo anymore I want us to
grow together and to help each other
grow so I'm starting a monthly book club
[Music]
and a lot of you have shown interest in
this and although I know this isn't
going to sound very exciting for
everyone I do hope you want to stick
around throughout this video before you
make a decision one of my philosophies
and something that I've said again and
again throughout my videos is the
importance of being open to trying new
things and I can't stress that enough
I'm going to have this video be two
parts the first part being the purpose
of the book club in other words why you
should join and the second part I'll be
going over all the technical stuff so
how you can join what to expect and so
on so what's the purpose
number one community and there are three
parts about the first part being a sense
of belonging because reading together
instead of reading alone gives a sense
of purpose and meaning the second part
being self expression a place where
you're free to discuss and share ideas
and simply express yourself the third
part being you'll meet new people and
I'm sure you'll even make friends number
to learn and gain new perspectives
you'll be introduced to books that you
might have otherwise ignored and the
more perspectives you gain the more you
grow and everyone interprets things
differently so this is a great
opportunity to take part of other
people's perspectives and ideas which I
believe to be very valuable
number three practice commitment and
self-discipline learning two commits
building habits and feeling
accountability towards others and
towards yourself is one of the most
valuable skills you can develop and as a
member of the book club you will be held
accountable because the group will
expect you to have read and reflected on
the book you know when you're posting a
question
I'll read it and no one answers it it's
not a very fun feeling and we don't want
to make others in the group feel bad
number four reading and discussing and
reflecting regularly will better your
reading and write
thinking abilities and I think that's
kind of obvious I don't really need to
go in-depth on that one and finally
number five have fun
although this will be a great
opportunity for growth and learning it's
also an opportunity to connect and to
have interesting fun conversations one
thing I've known since starting this
channel is that I don't want this
channel to just be about me I want it to
be about us together and I truly believe
that this is a great opportunity to
unify us and to make you all feel like
you're actually part of a community
because you are so how will this all
work like I said this will be a monthly
book club meaning that every month we
will be reading one book together and on
the 24th of every month I will be
writing a post in the community tab here
on YouTube asking you all for book
suggestions and I will be adding some
options as well and whichever book gets
the most thumbs up will be the book that
we will be reading throughout the next
month and the genre should be aligned
with the content of this channel so
philosophy self-help psychology and it
can be either nonfiction or fiction down
the line I hope to be able to offer you
wall books discounts but until then you
can try it audible 3 for 30 days or you
can just purchase used books which are
usually way cheaper and on the 25th of
each month I will be announcing the
winning book here on YouTube through a
video and that is also where the
discussion will be going on throughout
the month I might get a different format
down the line such as subreddits or some
people have even reached out to me
offering to build apps or websites
specifically for the book club but I do
want to get an idea of how many people
are actually being active and
participating before I make a decision
to go down that line I will be posting
my thoughts on the book throughout the
month on my Instagram through insta
stories and posts and I might also be
posting some challenges relating to the
book where
I'm very excited about and if anyone of
you are posting about your read and if
you're participating any one of the
challenges please don't forget to tag me
so I can see you and I will repost you
and we can have a chat and that will
also be encouraging others if we are
reading a newer book I will of course
try to get the author on my channel for
an interview that might be very
difficult but I will definitely do my
best I think that would be very
interesting and that's really all I have
to say for this video I'm very excited
to have finally announced this please
sound off in the comments if you are
planning on joining and what your
thoughts are and I will see you all in
my community tab on the 24th to vote on
the book that we will be reading in July
and I will of course be seeing you all
before that because I'll be posting
videos but you know what I mean
thank you so much for watching and I
will see you in my next one
[Music]
you
