Activeer je nervus vagus: Een revolutionair antwoord op stress- en angstklachten, trauma en een verminderde immuniteit,
Auteur: Luc Swinnen
Eens in de anderhalve maand komen de deelnemers van de boekenclub bij elkaar om een boek te bespreken. We praten erover, hebben het gezellig (niet zelden onder het genot van wat te eten en drinken) en vragen ons af: wat hebben we uit het boek gehaald? Hoe kunnen we dit vertalen naar ons leven? Hoe zien we de wereld nu anders dan vóór het lezen van het boek?
Together, while reading, we are in search of the best possible road map of life. A scavenger hunt in a group setting. The book club is for the real bookworms and the not so real bookworm. The only requirement is an open interest in a multitude of subjects (from philosophy, sociology, psychology, to spirituality and religion) and the willingness to read a book. The books that we read, we choose together. Often we read a particular book and sometimes we deviate from this by taking a theme, for example a particular philosopher.
The emphasis is on personal development and on what can be called metamodernism. This is an emerging social movement that seeks to connect modernism (the enlightenment, objective science, and economic growth as the basis for progress) and postmodernism (systemic criticism, doubt of scientific truth and a keen interest in subjective experience).
Language: English if international guests are present, otherwise Dutch.
