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: Gut Feelings & Heuristics
Are gut feelings irrational, or do they hold a hidden wisdom? In this discussion, we’ll explore Gigerenzer’s research on heuristics and decision-making, looking at how intuitive judgments often outperform complex reasoning. Perfect for anyone interested in psychology, risk, and practical wisdom.
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.
