One of our greatest joys is learning about new communities that are using our book to teach a class, change an organization, design a new project, or simply discuss as part of a book club. Last month, Jay visited the Book Club of the National Institute of Social and Affective Neuroscience at Mackenzie Presbyterian University in Brazil, led by Professor Paulo Boggio. The event was organized by Lorenzo Fantazzini Reichter and he kindly shared some of his reflections from the book club discussion for our newsletter below.

If you want to use our book in your class or organize a book club, fill out this form and we can share a bunch of educational materials that we created. We also created a free syllabus you can use to enrich your own learning or use in any educational setting. We also visit a few classes and book clubs every year. Start your own—it’s a great way to deeply understand ideas and might even help make a dent in the loneliness epidemic!
