Already have a book club? Here’s your next read.
Your book club already has the good stuff figured out. The people, the rhythm, the snacks. All you need from me is a worthy next pick. So here’s my pitch … Yes, The Coaching Habit started its life as a business book. But underneath, it’s about a way of being with people: asking a little more, telling a little less, staying curious before you leap in to fix things. Once that becomes a habit, it changes how you show up for all the people in your life.
One reader, a hardworking mom, told me it gave her the best conversation she’d had with her teenage daughter in years. It’s a quick read that changes how conversations happen, for the better. At work, at home, and at your next meeting.
Put it forward as your next pick. Short book, easy yes.
Whatever rhythm your club already runs on is perfect.
The ones below are built for a group that isn’t there to talk shop.
That’s your entry in the draw.
Everyone reads the book first, then 60–90 minutes together on the questions.
Better for going deeper. Take the extra time together to pick one or two of the Seven Essential Questions and start practicing.
This is probably not your usual pick. What made the group say yes to it?
The book is aimed at work, but the questions travel. Where did one of them land for you outside your work life?
When did your Advice Monster show up this week, and what did it cost the conversation?
The Advice Monster is the part of you that jumps straight to advice.
Where have you found yourself asking more and telling less since you started reading?
Whose life would change most if they read this, and how could you share this book with them?
What was most useful for you?
Go around the room. Everyone answers.
The Coaching Habit is the kind of book that earns a permanent spot on your shelf. People underline it, write in it, and come back to it. There are even fill-in sections designed for that.

That’s Question 7 and it’s the inspiration for your submission.
