You and one other person. That’s it. That’s the whole club.
Some of the best conversations I’ve had about this book have been one-on-one. Two people, two coffees. Just a good back-and-forth. A book club doesn’t need a roster or a schedule or someone bringing snacks. It needs one other person who’ll read the thing and talk about it honestly.
So pick your person. The friend who always gets it. The colleague you think best with. Your partner. Read it, then go deep on the parts that landed. Small is its own kind of good.
A friend, a colleague, your partner, a mentor. Someone you like thinking out loud with.
Together or on your own. It’s short either way.
One long coffee, or a few short ones. Whatever fits the two of you.
The questions in this guide are all you need to get going.
Everyone reads the book first, then 60–90 minutes together on the questions.
Better for going deeper. Take the extra time together to pick one or two of the Seven Essential Questions and start practicing.
Who taught you the most by asking rather than telling, and what did they ask?
When did your Advice Monster show up this week, and what did it cost the conversation?
The Advice Monster is the part of you that jumps straight to advice.
What’s a problem you’ve been working on where you suspect the real challenge is something else?
Which of the Seven Essential Questions do you reach for most, and which one do you skip?
What’s the best question anyone’s asked you lately?
What was most useful for you?

That’s Question 7 and it’s the inspiration for your submission. When your group finishes, your group’s organizer submits something you found useful, from the book, the experience, the time together, whatever your group decides. Include a photo or video from your club with your submission. A screenshot of a video call counts. A picture of your text thread counts.
