You can see RBC as an interesting book + fun meetups. It is.But it can also be a whole lot more...
Top tip: To make sure you never miss a beat [aka email, book perk, RBC vote!] make sure you drag and drop your first
RBC email from your Promotions inbox (and occasionally spam) to your Primary inbox and it will remember
to send them to the 'Primary' inbox for all future correspondence.
In this video, Ben tells you all about voting, reading goals, meetups + how to get the most out of the community.
Our main event is always the last Tuesday of the month at 7pm (GMT / UK).
You can join in-person or virtually, depending on where you are in the world.
In addition, we run socials, special bonus events and connect members locally for coffees, brunches or whatever takes your fancy!

If a particular theme or book starts to pull you in, don't be afraid to dive deeper.
For every new theme we share a list of related events in your city (and online) as well as podcasts, TED talks, blogs, documentaries. You can find these on our social network.
Monthly roundups of the books, meets & theme can be found on the RBC blog.
What if you're not into a particular book? Keep going but also explore other books on the same theme.
1. Get a reading wingman/woman/club.
Accountability will up your reading game. We nudge you weekly and the end of month meetup really helps people 'charge for the line'. Even if you don't finish the book, you will read more.
2. Commit to regular, small reading blocks.
Less is more. Rather than saying, 'I'm going to read for an hour', just commit to the 1 or 2 times in a day when you can easily fit reading into your routine. If you associate your commute with social media or work and want to switch to reading, then put your phone on airplay as you leave your house.
3. Keep your book/kindle in unavoidable places.
Put your book/kindle in your box of cereal so you read at breakfast, or on your pillow so you read at night. These will act as simple triggers to...read!4. Treat your reading like a project.
Whether you fold pages, highlight passages, share your favourite insights as you go or go all-in on the note taking (like Matt), a physical reaction to your reading will help form the habit faster.
5. Love a book lover.
If the person next to you in bed (or a bar) loves reading, so will you. This is next level accountability. Nothing like a bit of late night Stoic Philosophy.
Yes our end of month remote meets are where you'll get a warm welcome from your hosts and a structured session around the book.
But...there are so many more ways members connect with each other for friendship, projects & work:
1. Add yourself to the global RBC map
2. Host a meetup breakout session
3. Connect with members at our meets
4. Signup for an RBC specialist group
We moved our social network action over to Mighty Networks and away from Facebook back in 2019. Since then, we have been cataloging our reads, thoughts, events + actions on there.
When you sign up to Mighty Networks, head to the 'Welcome' and 'Discover' sections first and foremost.
Then try heading to 'Topics' to find our FAQs, previous themes + reading habit tips. You can also discover members near you.
Lots of member action happens there, so do come and say hi!
You can find a more detailed video intro to your left.

We push each other to go beyond the 'chin-stroking' and 'mmmm, interesting' regular responses to book chat.We want you to use books to make things better. But how?
• Follow or talk to members who work/lead in the space you're interested.
• Write to authors & ask to support their project/campaign.
• Invite members to 'join' you on your new project/action.
• Start a small group discussion for those that want to dive deeper.
• Share what you're doing with us.
We need you to grow our club & make a positive impact beyond. Ways you can get more involved:
• Join a 'reading squad', a monthly live review of the book.
• Volunteer to read for 1 x hour a month to help improve
children's literacy with Bookmark Reading.
• Help host a meetup.
• Be part of our new podcast crew.
• Guest post on our blog
