Sally's Non-Fiction Book Club + Author Q&A (January)

Sally’s Non-Fiction Book Club celebrates the joy of non-fiction and learning with like-minded people in a relaxed and friendly online space.

Welcome to Sally’s Book Club!

• Are you a business owner or a professional looking to improve yourself or your organisation?
• Have you got a big pile of business or self-development books you’ve been meaning to read for ages?
• Would you like to meet like-minded professionals to discuss business, growth and self-development in 2026?

Sally’s Book Club was launched in January 2024 by Sally Day, a Content Marketing Consultant based in South Oxfordshire. Sally has been a small business owner since May 2020 and has about 42 business books on her ‘read list’. Sally loves reading and learning more about improving her business and herself as a professional, but struggles to find the time to read these kinds of books!

Sally’s Book Club was created with a desire to learn more in a relaxed and friendly environment. And with a keenness to have accountability for reading Non-Fiction books regularly. Everyone is welcome to join!

January's book:
Glimmers: Tiny moments to transform your life
By Nadia Narain & Katia Narain Phillips

This month's session will start with a very special Q&A with Nadia & Katia (7-7:30pm) before moving on to the usual 60 min discussion about the book!

• Have you ever had a tiny moment, like sunlight through the trees, a stranger’s smile or your favourite song coming on, that instantly lifted your mood and made everything feel a little lighter?
• Do you find yourself so busy or stressed that the days blur into one, and you can’t remember the last time you really stopped to notice the good stuff?
• Would you like to discover simple, gentle ways to feel calmer, happier and more present, by spotting the small joys that are already all around you?

If you've said yes to any of these - then this book is for you.

'Absolutely glorious ... this book is a game changer,' Davina McCall, Begin Again podcast

Sun peeking through leaves. A shared smile with a stranger. The sound of birdsong.

A glimmer often feels like a little moment of magic, but it’s actually a physical response that is rooted in your body’s nervous system, with the power to improve your mood, mental health and overall well-being. A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger - instead of putting your system on high alert, it reassures you that all is safe and well.

Glimmers are a beautiful invitation to the present moment, inviting us to be more aware of ourselves, our environment and the connections we share with those around us. They offer cues of safety and ease to the nervous system, which help us build resilience to better navigate life's ups and downs.

In Glimmers, sisters Nadia and Katia, authors of the international bestseller Self-Care for the Real World, bring together practices inspired by their training and experiences of nervous system healing. Their gentle guidance will help you tune into the glimmers that are all around you, every day.'
