Lindy Book Club Events
The Lindy Book Club aims to bring together individuals who are passionate about a diverse range of books, particularly those that explore timeless, enduring concepts—often referred to as "Lindy" books. These works span various genres, including fiction, science, business, history, and more, offering valuable insights and ideas that stand the test of time. The club's scope is to create a space where members can engage in meaningful discussions about the ideas, themes, and lessons presented in these books, and explore ways to apply them to daily life, professional work, personal development, and creative pursuits.

LBC: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
Carlo Cipolla’s brilliantly simple and humorous essay lays out the fundamental laws of human stupidity—how it operates, why it’s more dangerous than malice, and how it shapes societies. We’ll unpack the implications of his insights and how we can navigate a world full of (often underestimated) stupidity.
Lindy Book Club: Perfume
A haunting psychological thriller, Perfume follows the life of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a man with an extraordinary sense of smell and a dangerous obsession. We’ll discuss its themes of identity, art, and morality, as well as Süskind’s unique storytelling and historical backdrop.
Lindy Book Club: Antifragile
In Antifragile, Taleb takes us beyond resilience and robustness, introducing the concept of systems that gain from disorder. We’ll explore how this applies to everything from finance to personal growth, evolution, and decision-making in a world of uncertainty. Expect an engaging discussion on how to embrace randomness rather than fear it.
LBC: Notes on Nationalism
Orwell’s Notes on Nationalism dissects the psychological mechanisms behind political tribalism, from blind loyalty to intellectual dishonesty. How does his analysis apply today? Join us as we examine Orwell’s sharp observations and their relevance in the modern world.
