Welcome to the Thoughtful Book Club
Read - Think - Share - Inspire
Thank you so much for your interest in the Thoughful book club. I can't wait to get to read with you.
The purpose of the group is for us to:
Deepen our understanding of the Thinking Environment by reading interesting, diverse, thought-provoking books.
Broaden our knowledge and experience of the 10 Components by thinking about them from different perspectives
Make small changes in our own lives that support us to think and live well
Here are a few questions to think about as you read:
What do you think, feel or want to say about this book?
Were there any particular questions it raised about your understanding of a Thinking Environment?
Did anything resonate for you - will you do something different after reading this book?
Is there anything you'll integrate into your teaching/work from a TE perspective?
Would you recommend the book? (10 high, 0 being no way)
The books we're reading in 2025
Here’s how it works:
Each quarter, I recommend a book to spark reflection, learning, and conversation and will share any resources I’ve found which bring the book to life. There’s no pressure to read every book—dip in and out as it suits you.
Instead of live Zoom calls, I’ll share a short LinkedIn post with a few thoughts and questions to consider each quarter. You’re welcome to add your reflections in the comments or read along quietly in your own time.
If you’d prefer a more private space to share your thoughts, you’re always welcome to email me directly. I love hearing what the books bring up for you.
This informal, gently held space is rooted in the principles of a Thinking Environment: ease, encouragement, and equality.
