During this time of Stay at Home, we are repeating book clubs of the past. If you were with us before, join in again. If you missed us the first time, this is your second chance. Even if you only read the "cliff notes" or one chapter of the book, join us for a great online discussion. 

The ATD-OC Book Club is open to non-members too! It’s a great way to learn more about ATD-OC and our wonderful members.

A little about our first book…

We kick off this series with a book that has sold over 1.5 Million copies. Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the box. The book is from The Arbinger Institute.

An excerpt from the book:

Self-deception… blinds us to the true causes of problems, and once we’re blind, all the “solutions” we can think of will actually make matters worse. Whether at work or at home, self-deception obscures the truth about ourselves, corrupts our view of others and our circumstances, and inhibits our ability to make wise and helpful decisions. To the extent that we are self-deceived, both our happiness and our leadership are undermined at every turn…

This bestseller examines how individuals and leaders become aware of their self-deception and they can take to ‘get out of the box’.

The concepts in this book are valuable for work and home.

We’ll be covering concepts in the book, hearing your views, and talking about ways to implement the ideas for better leadership and a happier life. The expectation is that you finish reading the book before the club meeting.
