Why we Read Lindy Books
History: Debunking Historical Narratives
Lindy books cut through distorted historical narratives, exposing myths and revealing truths that have shaped our world. From overlooked events to misunderstood eras, we read to understand what history really teaches us.
Lives and Ideas of Notable People
Explore the ideas and stories of individuals who embody erudition, courage, and skin in the game. From philosophers to entrepreneurs and activists, we study the lives and ideas of those who dared to challenge, create, and endure.
Understanding Key Concepts & Ideas
Understand concepts and ideas that point to often abstract aspects of life which are crucial in understanding why things happen or how to act for your own survival like Ergodicity or Antifragility. They are often misrepresented and misunderstood.
Art & Literature
Writing is as form of art. A book's ability to capture you defies rational explanation; it's a form of art that resonates on a visceral, almost mystical level. Like a painting or a melody, a book’s power lies in its ability to evoke feelings and insights that can’t be fully dissected; it’s a living encounter, shaped by the reader’s soul as much as the author’s craft.
Books are handpicked from the Lindy Book List, a collection of timeless works curated over a long time.
The Lindy Book Club unites people passionate about exploring timeless ideas through a wide range of genres—fiction, science, business, history, and beyond. It's a place to discuss profound concepts, uncover practical applications, and enrich your personal and professional life.

The Art of the Novel
Join us as we dive into Milan Kundera’s The Art of the Novel, a deep and playful meditation on what the novel truly is and how it shapes our understanding of the world. Kundera explores the novel’s philosophical dimensions, its evolution, and its ability to capture the complexity of human existence. A must-read for anyone who loves literature beyond the surface.
