I belong to 2 alumni associations (undergrad and b-school). Both use Professional Book Club (pbc.guru) to run virtual book clubs. See if your alumni association offers it, too.

Most of the books have been good (only a few clunkers) and I can honestly say they’ve exposed me to topics and authors I probably would have otherwise skipped.

Honestly the goop one looks interesting

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality. I head a team and they seem to be happy… but I’m also personally not satisfied what we’re delivering is enough… so I have this weird mixed feeling of the stuff we’re doing not really being that stretching, but at the same time I feel out of my depth. I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.

Did anyone read this yet ? I'm not sure how much I liked the paragraph long sentences but it has some very distinctive Kafkaesque tones. The book has already seen widely different reviews from different political camps. Ex-McKinsey & Company consultants are really becoming mainstream authors now.
