Better World Book Club - online

Our 'Better World Book Club' meets monthly. The books will be chosen to cover a range of social issues we might do well to be more informed about, and stories of diverse lived experience, interleaved with books on spiritual and ethical matters, to help us live well in hard times. We will aim to choose titles that are available in print, e-book, and audiobook formats, and we will buy a few copies for the church library (let us know if you'd like to borrow one). RSVP or email Jane: jane@kensington-unitarians.org.uk. 

In December we are reading 'Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise' by Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz: ‘What if the most serious personal and global challenges won't be solved with more thinking or talking? The world is louder than ever. It's not just the noise in our ears, but also the noise on our screens and in our heads. 'Silence is golden,' the adage goes. But how do we find it in times like these? Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz take us on an unlikely journey exploring why silence is essential for physical health, mental clarity, professional fulfilment, nourishing relationships, ecological sustainability and vibrant community. Drawing on lessons from neuroscience, philosophy, business, politics, activism and the arts, Golden teaches us how to go beyond the ordinary rules and offers tools of mindfulness to help individuals, organisations and societies dial down the noise and reclaim pristine quiet.’
