QUARTERLY BOOK CLUB

Women in Chemicals hosts a virtual book club for our community to gather, share ideas, and delve into books that focus on personal and professional development. We select a book quarterly to read together and meet once a month on Zoom to discuss the content. If you can’t make the virtual meetings, don’t fret, we are also posting weekly discussion questions on the Forum.

Q1

Current Book:

Tranquility by Tuesday

Written by: Laura Vanderkam

Explains that if you want something to happen, you need to design your life to make it happen. To make time for what matters, you need a resilient schedule, not a perfect schedule. Based on a time diary study of over 150 people, Vanderkam shares nine strategies for building opportunities for joy, nourishment, and fulfillment into your week. This is more than a time management book about “how to do it all.” It’s a look at how real people changed their lives using Vanderkam’s nine rules, and how you can do the same to intentionally live the life that you want to live.

“Success is possible, even in the midst of a complex and occasionally chaotic life. You do not need to wait for some less-hectic future time to become the person you want to be. With a different perspective, and a focus on doing what you can, You can be that person now.”

– Laura Vanderkam
