99pages Book Club

We kick off our Veterans Day programming with our first conversation on TRIBE by Sebastian Junger. Service in our nation's armed forces over the past two decades has been dangerous and formative. For women and minorities, the pride of service can sometimes be tarnished by acts of misogyny or racism--how does this affect one's affiliation to the Tribe? What are the ways in which veterans grapple with the challenges of their service? Join us as we start discussing TRIBE by Sebastian Junger

In our final discussion on Ezra Klein's Why We're Polarized, we dive into the politics of COVID-19. Why is the pandemic so polarizing the United States compared to other countries? What is it about the pandemic and wearing of masks that signals one's identity? Join our final discussion as we head into the election!

Educators are facing the toughest time they've had in a generation. Digital learning, maintaining focus, explaining toxic politics and racial bias are just a few of the many problems teachers are facing. This is a community for and by educators to help them find common ground and a voice in the chaos of the day to day life of being a modern teacher.

Please join her and her esteemed panel as we open up Lisa Delpit's Teaching When the World is on Fire!

In our first 99pages club livestream on Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein, we dive into the anatomy of tense issues that divide us. What does geography and urbanization have to do with a liberal view point? Why does more information on Global Warming still not change minds? How can we make our nation stronger after years of polarization from the very news sources that are supposed to make us nuanced and educated? Join us as we dive into these issues and more on our 99pages club panel!

In this episode, we finish our coverage of "Pitch Anything" By Oren Klaff. We discuss the art of framing yourself, handling objections, and when to use "we" as opposed to "I" when discussing accomplishments

Join us for the first episode the #hustle bookclub for Jobseekers and the Underemployed. We heard our audience and during tough economic times, it's hard to make space and time to read. To that end, we launched this bookclub to explore the traits of a great job hunt. Episode 1 covers "Framing" from the book "Pitch Anything" by Oren Klaff

We open up 99pages Election season coverage with Gautam Mukunda's analysis on corporate and government leadership on the premise of his book Indispensable. We cover current political norms of elites, narcissism in leadership, and the decline of American innovation (e.g. General Electric)

Join our panel as we conclude our exploration into Caste by Isabel Wilkerson

99pages club takes anonymous questions as we discuss parts 3-5 of Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. We're joined by Cal Walters, Jackie Neumann, and Stesha Doku with anonymous questions coming in from around the world.

We take a break from the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson to discuss the Indian Caste system. We try to see more of ourselves in another implementation of social hierarchy.
