Welcome back to the book club. I'm Michael Knowles and this month we will be discussing

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley because we are living in a brave new world.

First though in our fast-paced world, it's tough to make reading a priority.

At least it used to be, but at thinker.org they summarize the key ideas from new and

noteworthy non-fiction giving you access to an entire library of great books

in bite-sized form.

You can read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes from old classics like Dale

Carnegie has had to win friends and influence people

to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.

If you want to challenge your preconceptions,

if you want to expand your horizons, if you want to sound smart at cocktail parties, most important
