Welcome to Pause & Pivot | Why Books, Why Now, Why Together

Описание: Welcome to Pause & Pivot — a weekly collective space for live book conversations, reflective dialogue, and meaningful connection.

This is Episode 0 — our welcome and introduction — where we share the heart behind this series, why it exists, and how you’re invited to participate.

📚 Why a Book Collective?

Recent research shows that nearly 40% of adults in the U.S. did not read a single book last year.

Not because people don’t care.
Not because curiosity is gone.

But because life is full, attention is fragmented, and many of us feel overwhelmed by information — yet undernourished by meaning.

Pause & Pivot was created as a gentle response to that reality.

Not to pressure more productivity.
Not to assign more “homework.”

But to reclaim reading as a human, relational, and life-giving practice.

🌱 What This Series Is About

Each week, we gather around a thoughtfully chosen book and explore:
Big ideas that invite reflection and inquiry
Personal stories and shared insights
What feels most relevant to our lives right now
How wisdom can move from knowledge into action

This is not about reading faster, finishing every book, or mastering content.

It’s about:
Slowing down long enough to notice what resonates
Naming one meaningful takeaway that matters to you
Choosing a small, doable action that helps integrate insight into daily life

Tiny steps. Real life. Lived wisdom.

✨ What to Expect in Each Live Book Chat

A welcoming, judgment-free conversation space
Reflections on meaning, wellbeing, love, connection, and purpose
Perspectives drawn from psychology, neuroscience, wellbeing science, and wisdom traditions
Space for curiosity, questions, and shared humanity
Gentle prompts to help you reflect and apply what you’re learning

You’re always welcome to:
Join live
Watch the replay
Read along (or not!)

Engage in the way that feels right for you

There’s no one “right” way to participate here.

🔁 Why “Pause & Pivot”?

We pause — not to stop, but to listen.
We pivot — not to abandon our lives, but to realign with what matters.

This collective exists for those who feel:
In between chapters
Curious about living more intentionally
Drawn to reflection, conversation, and conscious growth
Interested in turning insight into aligned action
