About the Most Recent Session

Our latest book club session explored The Courage to Be Happy by Ichiro Kishimi — a thoughtful follow-up to The Courage to Be Disliked.

Over five weeks, participants engaged in meaningful conversations around:

• courage and personal growth
• relationships and connection
• finding purpose and fulfillment

This session was co-facilitated in partnership with Peer Connections Manitoba and the MHERC Library, creating a supportive environment grounded in lived experience and peer support.

Acknowledgement

What to Expect

Each book club session typically includes:

• A small group setting (limited capacity)
• Weekly guided discussions
• A welcoming, peer-supported environment
• No prior experience required—just curiosity and openness
