I read a lot. I enjoy it, and it helps spark my personal growth in several different areas. I also review a lot of the books I read. But now, I want to review not just a book, but a book club.

I have been a follower of Michael Hyatt’s blog and his work as an innovative leader in the blogging community. When he branched out into the realm of helping others develop a platform from which to operate, I was intrigued, but wasn’t able to really participate. It was pretty expensive. One area which I did invest in was his presentation theme for blogs and websites. This website is built upon his platform, in fact.

Several months ago, he released a new program called LeaderBox, in which he curated and sent out two books on leadership each month, creating an online community where discussion could happen as people sought to grow through those books. Again, it was pretty pricey, and I declined to participate in it.

However, quite recently, he has revised that program into a new entity called LeaderBooks, and I decided this was a level at which I could jump in and participate. And I am glad that I did. (This is not an affiliated post in any way; I am simply passing on to you a tool I have found to be immediately helpful.)

Here’s how it works. LeaderBooks is a revision of LeaderBox, but much more simple and streamlined. Each month, Hyatt and his team select one book that they think holds the potential to be an asset to leaders across all walks of life. When you subscribe to LeaderBooks, you gain access to a community that reads that book together each month and discusses it, growing together. You receive a reading guide and summary of the book. And you receive some challenging and provoking questions and actions steps to take your leadership to the next level.

What you don’t receive is the book itself. You have to purchase that on your own. I like that, even though it means a little more expense. In this manner, you can choose your preferred format, whether that be hard cover, audio book, or a digital format.

This month’s selection is a new book called Digital Minimalism, written by Cal Newport. And although I’m just a few days into the program, I’m finding it especially helpful as I navigate the pages, making my own notes and observations, and seeing what stands out to others as well.

So, while I typically review and recommend selected books to you, in this case I’m recommending a book club to you. One that I think you’ll find helpful, especially if you are a leader in your organization, or want to grow in this area in your own life. It’ll cost you twenty bucks a month, plus the cost of the selected book, but I think that is well worth it for the growth you’ll see.

I highly recommend that you check it out.
