About The Event

The Good Life reading group is almost four years old. For this occasion, we decided to open our doors and make it a group for professionals of all ages! If you still haven't, it is time for you to join us! 

Together, we will read literature that speaks to the most profound human needs and deals with the most contemporary issues: such as religion, sex, and family life. As usual, we do this in the institute's beautiful backyard or in its lovely indoor spaces. A glass of wine will always be offered - and new participants are always welcome.

About the first book.

The first book of the semester will be "Lost in the Chaos", by R.J. Snell. To join us, we ask you to sign up no later than September 10th.
