We have created an online book club exclusively for UBC alumni, focusing on lifelong learning, leadership, harnessing creativity, communication skills and much, much more. The book club will connect through a private forum where alumni can discuss the current book and connect with each other.
The Next Online Book Club Selection
David Chang is the famed chef behind the Momofuku restaurant empire and star of the Netflix hit Ugly Delicious. But despite his enviable career success, Chang has struggled with suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety.
In his new memoir, Eat a Peach, Chang wrestles with his lifelong feelings of inadequacy, explores the mental illness that almost killed him, and finds hope in the communal act of sharing a meal. Using grace, candor, and humour, he lays bare his mistakes and wonders at the extraordinary luck that made him one of the most influential chefs of his generation.
Join us as we follow Chang’s switchback journey in search of belonging.
Reading and discussion starts March 18th.
Joining the book club is completely free. You just have to pick up a copy of the book—at your library, UBC Bookstore (save 12% with your Alumni Card), or online—to enjoy.* The group will read one book every two months, so you will have plenty of time to read.
Plus, you don’t have to commit to reading every book—we’re not grading you.
*Online purchases made at Indigo using our link help support alumni UBC programs.
