Built around two things that still matter: learning and human connection.
The original Taipei Business Book Club grew to more than 500 business-focused members. The relaunch keeps that foundation and redesigns the experience around better conversations and practical transfer to work.
Ideas get better when people test them together.
Books are catalysts, not trophies.
Finishing a book matters less than being able to use, question, and challenge its ideas.
Difference is a feature.
Different roles, industries, cultures, and levels of experience make the same idea more useful.
Application beats admiration.
A useful Gathering should change a decision, a conversation, or a behaviour after you leave.
Good facilitation creates better thinking.
The structure should make it easier to disagree, explore trade-offs, and hear voices beyond the most confident person in the room.
A professional community, without pretending to be a conference.
TBBC is…
- A place for thoughtful professional conversation
- A reason to read with purpose
- A way to meet people outside your usual work bubble
- A practical bridge between ideas and work
TBBC is not…
- A lecture series
- A chapter-summary club
- A networking event with a book attached
- A room where everyone has to agree
The next version is being built for the people who will actually use it.
Join the list if you want to attend, contribute ideas, or simply hear when the next Gathering is announced.
