Since momsy loved bringing people together, I thought creating a book club in her spirit would be a great way to create a community, build friendships and have fun (all her favourite things)! We’ll let everyone know what the upcoming book is here on this page. You can get the book any way you like: your library, ebook app, audiobook, borrow from a friend (and please return, don’t be that guy laugh out loud), independent bookstore, big box bookstore, online bookstore, used bookstore etc etc. You can also purchase the book via the fundlove website shop and any $ proceeds will go to mom’s foundation (thanks for your support!). Let’s enjoy books with each other on Fable.co one page at a time!
Our FIRST Book for Book Club is…drum roll…
Our FIRST read for the FundLove Book Club is The Well-Lived Life: A 103-Year-Old Doctor’s Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age by Dr. Gladys McGarey. It is a heartwarming and deeply inspiring memoir about finding joy, purpose, and resilience at any age, using Dr. Gladys’ 6 actionable secrets:
– Spend your energy wildly: How to embrace your life fully and feel motivated every day.
–All life needs to move: How to move—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to help let go of trauma and other roadblocks.
–You are here for a reason: How to find the everyday “juice” that helps you stay oriented in your life’s purpose.
–You are never alone: How to build a community that’s meaningful to you.
–Everything is your teacher: Discover the deep learnings that come from pain and setbacks.
–Love is the most powerful medicine: Learn to love yourself—and others—into healing.
This book is a perfect tribute to the spirit of love and community that guided mom’s life. We’ll explore Dr. Gladys’ timeless lessons in hope and healing through her stories (growing up with dyslexia, seeing Mahatma Gandhi when she was 10 years old, getting diagnosed with cancer twice, divorcing at 70, finding her voice at 93…). Not to mention that Dr. Gladys is just so gosh-darn ADORABLE! I discovered Dr. Gladys a few months ago on YouTube as I’ve been struggling with grief and depression from losing mom, and as someone who has suffered a lot of grief and loss herself, Dr. Glady’s wisdom really comforted me and encouraged me to get unstuck and move forward all while working through the process of grieving. Then I bawled my eyes out when I found out Dr. Gladys passed away in September 2024, just shy of her 104th birthday. 😭 All $ proceeds of this book purchase go to Dr. Gladys’ Foundation for Living Medicine, and anything extra goes to mom’s foundation The Bikram Mann Seva Foundation.
