What kind of books can I expect?
Together, the four of us read and choose each season’s most exciting, most groundbreaking books. Whether it’s by a bestselling, award-winning author or an emerging one, if it’s life-changing and can’t-be-missed, we share it with you.
And when our own new books come out, we’ll include special written material exclusively for Next Big Idea Club readers. You’ll get personal insights—our favorite passages, our most challenging ideas—that you won’t get anywhere else.
We’ll also share the other books that were in consideration and arrange special conversations with their authors.
How to unwind after a crazy workweek? By working on my #readingjournal of course! I joined @nextbigideaclub last fall and I have been slowly working my way through the books and courses. I love the videos and interviews with the authors. I feel like I retain more than if I was just reading it on my own. Is anyone else a member?

Ideas need communities. Communities are where ideas incubate and evolve. For me, the most valuable aspect of NBIC is the community—both the existence and the quality—it fosters.

I’ve been in NBIC since the beginning and I appreciate everything about it! Getting the surprise books is awesome, getting the commentary and the extras is awesome! I appreciate everything about this group. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into this group and the insights that everyone brings.
