Pilot Episode


 

Hello everyone! Welcome to Discovery Shoppe Book Club. 

This is our first blog post. We are so excited to build a community with you. 

"So, if you are more interested in being right than in continuing to live in your bubble; if you are willing to change your worldview; if you are ready for critical thinking to replace instinctive reaction; and if you are feeling humble, curious, and ready to be amazed—then please read on." _ Hans Rosling, Factfulness

Discovery Shoppe is a Book Club and a family of book readers that share a common love for business, leadership, finance, biographies, personal development, self-help, narrative, political and historical non-fiction books.

The Shoppe was created to stimulate reading culture, improve our reasoning, and shape our worldview. We serve 3 classes of people - those 'who love to read', 'love to read but presently don't', and those 'who don't like to read but are interested' - and draw them to all the benefits of reading. 

"A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." _ George R.R. Martin

We are building a community of book readers. We pride ourselves on reading books that ensure self-discovery, self-development, and self-improvement. They are the only items sold in the Shoppe😄. Our motto is Read, Explore, Learn!

We are built by Interest, Commitment, and Diversity. It is a virtual book club with a mix of people of different ages, backgrounds, and career field. Members have access to our rich and diverse community to build relationships, a reading buddy for accountability, and our rich conversations of course! 

This blog will serve as a platform to communicate with the world on some of our major activities, share our reading calendar, book choices for the month, and book reviews. Here's a glimpse into our reading calendar for 2021. 


We hope that at every point on our page there'd be an answer to this question: "What do we know now in a deeper way than we knew it before?" Ultimately, we sincerely believe that the Discovery Shoppe Book Club will inspire your reading habit and impact your life. 

Please engage with us, we are excited to hear your unique perspective. Stay tuned, subscribe, and enjoy our posts.

Have fun!

Remain Cheerful,

Discovery Shoppe Book Club
