E199: Book Clubs with Heart: How Group Reading Can Foster Collective Healing


Listen Later

On this episode of the Get Lit(erate). podcast, I’m exploring the healing power of books clubs and why they are an underestimated tool in our quest to make life better through books and reading.

Come listen as I talk about the research-backed power of book clubs, how you can create (or join!) a book club with heart, the best kinds of books to promote group healing, the conversations your book club needs to discuss the next time it meets and the things we do outside the pages of a book that can literally change our lives. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/10/07/book-clubs-with-heart-how-group-reading-can-foster-collective-healing
