Description

365 Books + 365 Lessons for Life 

Join Us on Magical Learning Adventure with Chris Sears and Trieu Nguyen as they explore topics on life, values, purpose, and meaning one book at a time.

The Gist - 

Chris loves to read, write, and share. Luckily for him he met Trieu who was open to listening. 

In this magical learning adventure, Chris reads a book, writes a reflection based on what he learned and how it has been applied to his life, and then shares it with Trieu. After that, the fun ensues as Chris and Trieu discuss the ideas presented. 

We hope you can learn with us and apply some of these lessons to your own life. 

You can read the reflections on our blog here - https://www.clubany.org/blog 

Thank you from Chris and Trieu
