THE SHELF HELP ARCHIVE
(56 books and counting)
Here are all of the books we have read as a community since launching the book club in 2017.
Every two months we choose a different book to work through with our members, using the theme of the book to share and discuss self-development strategies, and supporting with author events, book club resources and community meetups.
Through our Clubhouse membership we support members from all over the world to dive deeper into the learnings and insights from the featured books and provide accountability to keep you reading, learning, growing and healing.
