I've thought about this for a long time. And now that the perfect book has come along for it, we're going to leap into it. Below is an invitation for a learning journey that will change your life. It's changing mine.

Increase in Learning Virtual Reading Group

An Official Invitation

As an editor, I've had a chance to work on a lot of books over the past three decades. Many have lifted me, taught me, helped me, and entertained me, but only a few have truly changed me. Increase in Learning is one of those rare books that has made a real difference in how I see and behave in the world. Working with Elder David A. Bednar's words was an experience I'll always cherish. So I'm excited to have a chance to dig deeper into this incredible book and find out how it is changing you.

Here's the invitation: Come explore Increase in Learning in a live chat with me every Wednesday, starting January 18, at 1:00 p.m. MST. Just visit seek.deseretbook.com/learning. Each week, we'll be reading one chapter or section and discussing it online. We'll talk about the questions Elder Bednar poses at the end of the chapters and the questions we've thought of ourselves, the things we've learned, and the actions we're being motivated to take. For January 18, be prepared to discuss Chapter 1.

Here's the full discussion schedule:

January 18: Chapter 1

January 25: Related Readings for Chapter 1

February 1: Chapter 2

February 8: Related Readings for Chapter 2

February 15: Chapter 3
