How reading books together make you smarter?

Reading books together is a memorable experience.

Professional bookclubs offer new ways to explore topics together and learn new ideas.

Teams can express interest in a topic they want to explore and a facilitator can help organize a meeting where the book can be discussed. The facilitator is not an SME in the topic but can be from the L&D department, for example.

The bookclub members can decide to take action and put the learning into practice. They can reflect on their experiences in an after-meeting some time later.

To make most of the bookclubs, the meetings have to be regular and aim at putting the knowledge into practice. Writing a review of the book and creating a catalogue of the works helps with onboarding new members. The benefits of bookclubs include the sheer joy of learning with others and having an “expert” voice in the book to engage with.
