&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;This year’s reading selections have been thoughtfully chosen to build upon one another, creating a year-long journey toward greater health, well-being, and personal growth. We hope this series will offer practical tools, thought-provoking conversations, and a supportive community as we explore what it means to thrive—both personally and professionally.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;Please see the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.detroitlawyer.org/sections/work-life/bookclub/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;full schedule and reading list&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
