[close] About the Group Welcome! We’re a Vancouver-based reading crew for people who love the classics and want to read them in a friendly, low-pressure way. We rotate between plays (Shakespeare & friends), classic novels (Tolstoy, Austen, Ibsen, etc.), and a monthly Harvard Classics Coffee Club pick (short, actionable reads like Ben Franklin’s Autobiography). Think: big ideas, zero academic gatekeeping. Who this is for Readers who want thoughtful conversation without homework police People curious about “the great books” and how they apply to real life Vancouver locals who may meet in person—non-Vancouver readers still welcome to join threads and chats How we read 1–2 selections per month (mix of short plays, short stories, essays, or manageable chunks of longer books) Discussion threads open a week before meetups with prompts + key quotes In-person meetups (cafés / library rooms) when possible, plus ongoing online chats “Come even if you didn’t finish”—we’ll post summaries and passages Typical Picks Plays: Twelfth Night, A Doll’s House, Death of a Salesman Novels/Novellas: Hadji Murat, The Stranger, Jane Eyre (selections welcome) Harvard Classics: Franklin, Emerson essays, Marcus Aurelius selections, Montaigne, Plato dialogues (short!) Why join Because classics don’t have to be stuffy. We read to think better, live better, and have great conversations—with a warm, curious crowd.

[close] Welcome to a space where curiosity meets reflection. This group is dedicated to readers of The Best Fit Theory, where we explore how outcomes—personal, social, or systemic—emerge not by chance or perfect design, but by the interplay of conditions, awareness, and action. Here, we discuss the ideas, stories, and examples from the book, sharing insights about decision-making, alignment, and the subtle forces that shape life. Whether you’re applying the theory to personal growth, society, technology, or creative thinking, this group is a place for thoughtful conversation, questions, and reflective exploration. Join us if you want to: Deepen your understanding of The Best Fit Theory and its practical applications Share experiences where “fit” shaped outcomes in surprising ways Discuss philosophy, systems thinking, and real-life examples Connect with other readers in thoughtful, reflective dialogue This isn’t just a book club—it’s a community for thinking about how the world fits together, how decisions cascade, and how awareness can shape better outcomes.
