WPD Book Club
Welcome to WPD's Online Book Club!
Hosted on Bookclubs.com, the Women & Planning Division's book club brings planners together to read, reflect, and connect.
How It Works:
- Member-Driven Selection: We read books recommended and voted on by our members.
- Flexible Participation: Join in whenever your schedule and interests align—there's no requirement to participate in every book selection!
- Live Discussions: Participate in bimonthly "live" Zoom conversations with 20–30 fellow readers.
- Asynchronous Message Board: Can't make the live meeting? Chat with 500+ members on your own time via our online discussion board.
- Author Guest Appearances: We are frequently joined by the authors themselves for an inside look into their work.
The best part? WPD's Book Club is completely free and open to everyone. Click the link below to join WPD's Book Club today!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play comes an inspirational guide for setting new personal goals, rediscovering your interests, cultivating creativity, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space.
Eve Rodsky reveals what researchers already know: Creativity is not optional. It’s essential. With her trademark mix of research based, how-to advice and big-picture inspirational thinking, Rodsky shows you a clear path to reclaim your permission to have fun, manifest your own Unicorn Space in an already too-busy life, and unleash your special gifts and undiscovered talents into the world.
