Conversational depth and becoming someone people want to talk to
 
Your book discussions stay surface-level. "I liked it." "The ending was good." You know there's more to say but you don't know how to access it.
Meanwhile, some people have conversations that matter—about books, ideas, life. You want to be one of them.
 
The Transformation: This 30 page guided journal teaches you how to discuss books at five levels of depth (plot/character/theme/craft/significance), host gatherings people remember, and build genuine intellectual community.
 
Through 5 modules grounded in literary criticism and rhetoric, you'll learn:
The five levels of literary conversation (so you never stay stuck on plot)
How to host salons that people talk about for weeks
Questions that create depth instead of killing conversation
How to disagree productively without destroying relationships
