How it works
STEP 1: JOIN
Join us, or gift, it takes just a few minutes. Choose a membership to fit your reading goals.
STEP 2: READ
Every month members vote on a shortlist of 3 inspiring non-fiction books on a theme. We will then nudge you weekly to read the book & join the discussion.
STEP 3: MEET
You will be invited to our monthly in-person & virtual meetups (not another zoom room). Plus local & global member matches, reading goals support & shared interest groups.
"RBC is the coolest book club. I have read 10x more since joining. But reading more is just the start of the benefits - there is a strong, highly engaged community of likeminded readers to discuss the current book, other books and interesting themes and topics with. Joining RBC is one of the best things I’ve done." - Frankie

Frequently Asked Questions
We live in confusing times.
We can access more information than ever before. We can easily connect with like-minded people around the world. We can work from (almost) anywhere. We can explore content, topics and subjects with a couple of clicks.
But, despite this abundance, many of us often feel overwhelmed, slightly lost and disconnected from each other.
Over the last six years we've discovered that diving deeper into different topics and discussing them helps us make more sense of the noise in our heads and around us.
It helps us improve our ability to focus in a distracted age.
It helps us connect on a human level beyond emoji's (although we use them a lot) and notifications.
It helps us develop the habit of lifelong learning that can lead to all kinds of exciting shifts.
Rebel Book Club is a home for those who are hungry to learn without going 'back to school'.
It is a place for people to re-connect with others who share their curious mindset and concerns for our changing world.
It is a place to make friends, have fun and maybe be part of something special.
...you have a hungry mind.
...you want to meet people who are similarly curious.
We're a tribe of open-minded thinkers who are motivated to invest valuable time and energy into learning, connecting and cultivate a growth mindset towards life.
If this sounds like you (or who you want to be), jump in!

You should sack whoever manages your diary! Seriously though, if you're on holiday (or an unavoidable zoom) or otherwise unavailable, no biggie - we'll keep you in the loop with everything you missed with our monthly guides.
We curate books that we think will appeal to the RBC community.
We present three inspiring options each month, often recommendations from the community. Our shortlists always include at least one independent publisher and one under-represented author. We want to support more equality in publishing!
Members then vote for their favourite and we've got our book for the following month! Expect to see books around creativity, motivation, impact, business, entrepreneurship, happiness, wellbeing, tech, science, politics, nature and innovation with the occasional inspiring biography thrown in for good measure.
Best way to see the type of books we read is to check out our library.
Ultimately, anyone can purchase and read a book each month. The real value of joining Rebel Book Club is in the a-team community that make you accountable every month. We want to align with people who are committed and can add value to the community. The book club is just the start...
