First Book: Let Them by Mel Robbins | Have Book by 1/31/26
The Entrepreneur’s Book Club
What to expect:
This book club is built for entrepreneurs who want to grow their business and protect their mental health while doing it. Here’s how it works:
A mix of virtual + in-person meetups
Virtual Meetups: Easy to join from anywhere, perfect for busy seasons and packed schedules.
In-Person Coffee Shop Meetups: Laid-back, real connection at local coffee shops. Come as you are, bring your notebook (and your drink).
A clear, repeatable structure (so you don’t fall off)
Each book cycle follows a simple rhythm:
Book Drop + Reading Plan (you’ll know what to read and by when)
Weekly Check-In Prompts (short reflection + application questions)
Discussion Meetup (guided conversation, not awkward “popcorn reading”)
Action Steps (leave with 2–3 moves you can apply immediately)
Accountability + Community Support (because consistency is the real flex)
Books that support your business and your mental health
Expect reads that cover things like:
mindset + confidence as a founder
boundaries, burnout prevention, and nervous system care
leadership, productivity, and execution without the chaos
money mindset, purpose, and sustainable growth
A little fun
Support for local authors
We intentionally spotlight local authors especially mission-driven voices through:
featured monthly picks (when available)
author Q&As (virtual or in-person)
community buy-local encouragement and partnerships
You’re not just reading a book you’re building a healthier, stronger CEO.
Building a business can be isolating and that isolation quietly impacts your mental health. Our Entrepreneurs Book Club creates a consistent space to learn, reflect, and connect with other founders who get it. Through curated reads and guided discussions, we focus on the whole entrepreneur: mindset, resilience, boundaries, emotional wellness, and sustainable success. As part of The Whole CEO Foundation’s Mental Health Initiative, this book club helps you strengthen the CEO and the person behind the business.
Reading with other entrepreneurs supports your mental health initiative because it turns personal growth into connection, consistency, and coping skills not just “good information.”
Here’s the real impact:
It reduces isolation. Entrepreneurship can be lonely, and loneliness fuels anxiety and depression. A book club creates steady community and reminds people they’re not building alone.
It normalizes the hard stuff. When founders talk openly about stress, imposter syndrome, burnout, and balance, it removes shame. Shame keeps people silent; support helps people move.
It builds emotional regulation skills. Many business books (and wellness-centered reads) teach tools like boundaries, reframing thoughts, self-awareness, and resilience. Discussing them makes people more likely to use them.
It creates routine and accountability. Mental health improves with structure. A recurring reading cycle + meetup gives members something grounding to return to—even when life is chaotic.
It strengthens hope and motivation. Hearing how others are applying the material in real life boosts confidence and forward movement. Progress is protective for mental health.
It’s a low-pressure entry point to wellness support. Some people aren’t ready for therapy or formal programs yet. A book club is approachable then it can naturally connect members to deeper resources when they’re ready.
the book is the tool, but the group is the medicine.
