December Book Club: No Cure for Being Human: (And Other Truths I Need to Hear)
Details
Join us as we dive into Kate Bowler's poignant memoir, No Cure for Being Human (and Other Truths I Need to Hear). In this thought-provoking book, Bowler confronts the limits of our own lives and the clichés offered when life gets hard. After being diagnosed with stage IV cancer at age 35, she grapples with the challenge of living meaningfully in the face of uncertainty and the pressure to find life lessons in every hardship.
We'll convene in the non-fiction room to explore Bowler's candid and often humorous reflections on what it means to be human in a culture obsessed with positivity and efficiency. The bookstore opens at 10 am, and our discussion will start at 10:10, providing a chance for everyone to get comfortable.
Please bring coffee and a snack to share! This meeting offers a wonderful opportunity to engage deeply with a memoir that challenges how we think about mortality, purpose, and what makes life worth living. Whether you're a new or regular attendee, your thoughts and experiences are invaluable to our discussion. Let's come together to explore these profound themes and support each other in this exploration of life's unavoidable truths.
