"Book club. Book club. It's time for...book...club." - Jo
Today we reviewed Nassim Taleb's bestselling book The Black Swan, a strong challenge to our ability to predict life-altering events. Is there value to making plans? Should we build narratives around events in our past? Our general assessment of the book: meh. But hey, our next book club is only 5 weeks away, and our selection is What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Bruce Perry and Oprah Winfrey.
