Mattering Book Club:Continuing the Conversation
September 16, 2023 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose
by Jennifer Wallace
Last year, Jennifer Wallace joined us as the keynote speaker at the Maine Youth Thriving Summit, and everyone who attended received a copy of her book, Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose.
Now, we’re inviting you to pick up that book—or pick it back up—and continue the conversation.
Join Maine Youth Thriving for a welcoming, conversation-centered book club exploring Jennifer Wallace’s research and ideas about what it means to truly matter. Together, we’ll connect the book to our work with young people, schools, families, and communities and consider how we can intentionally create environments where people feel seen, heard, valued, and able to add value.
You do NOT have to have read the book to join us! Whether you’ve read every page, started the book, listened to a few chapters, or haven’t opened it yet, you are welcome. This is not about having all the answers—or even finishing the book. It’s about coming together to learn, reflect, share experiences, and explore what mattering can look like in practice.
We started the conversation at the Summit. Now, let’s keep it going.
Time: 4:00-5:00pm Via Zoom
