The Next Big Idea Club is a book subscription community curated by some of the world’s leading thinkers: Malcolm Gladwell (The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers), Susan Cain (Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking), Adam Grant (Give and Take, Originals), and Daniel H. Pink (Drive, To Sell Is Human). Together, these bestselling authors select each season’s two most exciting new nonfiction books, and then we send them straight to you. We also prepare e-courses and additional reading materials based on the books that you won’t find anywhere else.
You bet! We have partnered with Kindle to offer a digital version of the Next Big Idea Club. You’ll receive eBook versions of the titles, plus digital files and links for all of the bonus content. An eBook subscription costs $199 per year.
Just be sure that you have a compatible Kindle device, or use the free Kindle app for iPhone, iPad, or Android OS smartphones and tablets.
Every season, club members dive into two newly released hardcover books, both of which are hand-picked by our four curators as the most exciting nonfiction titles of the season. Ranging from psychology to creativity, from business to happiness, these books cover material that is science-based, groundbreaking, and truly life-changing. View past selections and finalists.
Our book selections are chosen quarterly. New seasons begin approximately every March (Spring), June (Summer), September (Fall), and December (Winter). Members who join us mid-season will receive that season’s box while supplies last. And our Member Library (where you’ll find e-courses based on each book selection) is always available, so you can dive into our exclusive videos, reading guides, and discussion threads right away!
If you join with a hardcover or eBook membership, your books will be sent to you within two weeks of joining. If you have a hardcover membership, once your box ships, you will receive an email from info@nextbigideaclub.com with your tracking number. eBooks are also delivered in an email from info@nextbigideaclub.com. If you’d like more details on your order, our support team will be happy to assist you.
The Express Membership is perfect for anyone who loves big ideas, but doesn’t have time to read big-idea books from cover to cover. Express Members get instant access to our entire library of e-courses based on selected books, which include video series starring the authors, helpful reading guides, review quizzes, discussion questions, and exclusive author interviews. Express Members also receive an invitation to join our private discussion forum, where they can get to know fellow members, featured authors, and even our four curators. In other words, you receive everything that other members do, except the books themselves, which you’re free to purchase separately in any format you choose. At under $9 per month, this membership is a great deal for curious minds with a busy schedule!
