WANT FOOD FOR BRAIN AND HEART? JOIN US!
We read a cool book every month (sometimes we also watch movies), share our perspectives about it, and put it into the different contexts of our daily lives and professional environments. This is NOT some intellectual ego-booster for people who want to show off with literary studies theory! It is a diverse and highly inspiring group of like-minded people across all walks of life.
We are connected by the experience that literature can help us solve the most complex puzzles of our lives and help us grow in mental and spiritual ways. The Book Club also helps us get out of our „reading comfort zone.“ Instead of always reading ‚your kind‘ of books, the meetings encourage you to gain amazing insights from books you would otherwise never touch.
Your take-aways?
- Creativity and holistic thinking
- Interdisciplinary and intercultural communication skills
- Impulses for self-reflection and personal growth
- Motivation and decision-making strength
- A growing network of life-long learners

Meetings take place online every third Tuesday of the month, from 16:30 to 18:00 (German time). Just send a short message prior to the upcoming meeting to schmidt@coachingpoet.de and you will receive the login link to the meeting.
If you want to, you can also join our WhatsApp group. Just let us know.
Disclaimer: The Coachingpoet Book Club is NOT sponsored by any publishing house or any other third party. We are therefore not promoting any books for some commercial reason. The only goal is to read for personal growth.
UPCOMING MEETINGS & BOOKS
This is a SciFi adventure that people are talking a lot about. It was suggested by one of our fabulous junior members at the end of the last Book Club session in March.
If you want to watch the movie instead of reading the book – fine! Just go for it. Especially for people who are not into SciFi (Silke is not…), this might be an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone… :o)
„There is so much talk about sex around us?!“ Well, one can hear that argument a lot, especially with social media content and online advertizing everywhere. Yet, there is a difference between others talking about sex and you talking about sex! Complaining about others is always an easy way to not deal with „delicate“ topics. But sex is not a shameful issue – it is the most powerful energy moving human creation.
Inspired by the first Vol. 1 or the movie (up to you) of Shades of Grey, we will take the liberty to talk about „sex“ and all other topics that appear in the book. This does not mean you have to give us a sneak preview of your bedroom adventures. Instead, we will be discussing sexuality in its most broadest form and based on different cultural, philosophical, and even theological angles.
