    Join us for our first “book pairing” to spark new insights, inspiration, and useful ideas


    Just as fine wines taste better when paired with complimentary foods that bring out their nuances, a great way to gain even more perspectives on any issue is to read complementary books – either sequentially or at the same time in alternating sips.
    We discuss pairs of books in three themes:

    * How to think differently about why people make decisions and behave the way that they do
    * Approaches for new ways to look at and overcome obstacles and disadvantages
    * Re-framing how we think about and address challenges of the future
