About Us
Welcome to "Curious Collective" – A Non-Fiction Book Club for Curious Minds.
If you find yourself here, chance is, you are curious. You are a wanderer, an explorer of ideas, seeking the 'whys' and 'hows' of our world, of what makes us human.
In a culture dominated by “hyper-connectivity”, we often lose sight of what truly matters; the treasure of ancient wisdom, the beauty of curiosity, and the profound meaning of community.
The Curious Collective is here to rekindle those flames. 🔥
We believe in the power of shared ideas, meaningful conversations, and sharing the journey.
As Joseph Addison wisely said, "Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body." Our collective mission is to exercise our minds, curiosity, and sense of belonging to a community of like-minded people.
We are not: Intellectual W*nkers. We keep it real, there is no intellectual snobbery here.
We are: Ordinary humans, who crave knowledge, connection, someone to chat about cool ideas and share the journey with.
How does it work?
One book, in one month. You pick the medium and the pace. We then meet to discuss ideas, share insights, learn, and share stories.
What are the books and how are they selected?
This is a Non-Fiction book club. We curate our book selection based on recommendations from leading thinkers, authors, and accomplished individuals.
Here’s the current book list.
What genre of books will be selected?
A wide net of topics: Psychology, History, Self-Development ( nothing wuwu), Philosophy, Creativity, Storytelling, Design, Innovation, Health, Wellbeing and so on.
Stay Curious – for there's always more to discover.

Book of the Month
In our last chapter, Goodbye, Things, we journeyed with Fumio Sasaki as he stripped away excess to find a more genuine self, free from the weight of possessions and superficial ideals. This physical decluttering mirrors a mental decluttering, enabling him to live by his values and reconnect with his identity.
In our next chapter, The Courage to Be Disliked, we continue this journey of inner liberation by exploring how to release the psychological burdens that hold us back: past traumas, fear of others’ judgments, and limiting beliefs. Through Adlerian Psychology, the book encourages a deeper, internal form of minimalism—clearing away mental obstacles to discover self-acceptance and live authentically.
We’re reaching the end of the year, and this will be our final reading for 2024. As often happens, the end of the year can feel bittersweet—have we accomplished all we wanted? Have we been intentional? Have we let go of what we needed to? What is the path forward?
Our reading and next gathering aim to provide a foundation for exploring some of these personal questions.
If you have a problem getting yourself a copy - get in touch!
Make a commitment 👏 📅
As the spots fill up pretty quickly, be quick to sign up - but do so only if you make a real commitment to join us.
We have an amazing, committed community that generously shows up, contributes, and gives their best. Sign up only if you are committed and eager to attend. Mark your calendar and make a commitment to yourself and your community.
Discussion
For the discussion, we’ll divide in smaller groups of around 5 as to have a more intimate environment to facilitate conversations where everyone can feel welcome to participate at their pace.

Tips:
I suggest having a notebook/ a place where you can take notes of the most interesting parts & thoughts you had - this is going to be very helpful for the discussion.Stay Curious – for there's always more to discover.
