This Book Club is a private moderated community of practice to contribute to co-creating useful books. Over 2023-2024, we worked on "Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems." After a year of energetic, generous, and thought-provoking conversations (visible in the hundreds of comments on these now-closed blog posts and Google Docs), this book is now in production and will be published by Berrett-Koehler on April 8, 2025. You can learn more and pre-order it here.

Over 2024-2025 we will be working on a second edition of "Collaborating with the Enemy, which will be published in November 2025. As before, all substantial contributors will be acknowledged by name in the printed book.

If you're not already a member of this Book Club and would like to participate (and get emails about club activities including Zoom calls), please sign up here.

P.S. Adam has illustrated this page with photos of some of his favourite food fridge magnets.😀
