The author’s experience
The book is co-authored by professional researchers and economists.
For the past 15 years, I have been building clubs and communities — in other words, developing social capital. I have also been continuously searching for answers to the question of how social capital can be used to drive change in society and launch socially important projects.
Since there was no formal way to learn this — how to develop clubs, how to build social capital, and how to use it to change the world — I had to gather this knowledge piece by piece from different sources.
This book is intended for a wide readership: from government officials and experts to active citizens with an interest in the country’s development.
Reviews
- The Club: The Art of Uniting
Readers’ experiences with a book that changes their mindset and offers a fresh perspective on decisions.
First of all, this is my second time at this retreat, and each time feels completely different. Why is it important to be here? Because you step outside your usual environment and interact with people you don’t have dependent relationships with.
Through this retreat, you develop a new way of communicating — expressing your thoughts clearly and focusing on what truly matters. You learn to be yourself without comparing to others, you shape your individuality, and you start speaking, moving, and acting in new ways.
The retreat gives you a push toward action and change. It’s a chance to be surrounded by like-minded people — and a powerful way to connect.
