ONE ACTION FOR BOOK CLUBS
Less “what did you think?” More “what did you try?”
Add an action layer to a reading group by choosing one author-prescribed or original experiment for the week.

Why it fits
Keep the technology small. Make the action real.
Action after discussion
End each meeting with one clearly defined experiment.
Flexible check-ins
Members can try it once or several times during the week.
Respect source material
Link members back to the book and use original or appropriately licensed wording rather than republishing protected content.
Example actions
Concrete enough to try this week.
These are illustrative One Action examples, not a fixed curriculum. Each organisation can curate its own theme.
TRYTry the week’s exercise once before the next meeting.
TRYRepeat the practice that produced the biggest surprise.
TRYApply one idea to a real decision or conversation.
TRYBring back one observation from doing rather than reading.
Start small.
Try four meetings where every discussion ends with one action and begins with what happened when people actually did it.
