Join us Saturday, January 7, at 1 pm to discuss Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by Adam Grant. We’ll meet at the North Syracuse Public Library in the Community Room, just to your right as you enter the building.

While we have included a link above to the book on Amazon, we encourage the use of public libraries. In addition to our excellent Onondaga County Public Libraries, which has 12 of copies of this book, New York State residents can get a New York (City) Public Library card to get access to e-books and audiobooks held by the NYPL, such as this book club read.

More about the book:

In Originals he…addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?
