One of the perks we offer to Hera Hub members is our Business Book Club. Led by Dr. Silvia Mah, CEO and founder of Hera Labs, the book club is a chance for members to enjoy a little down time with a book and chat about business from a different perspective.

The goals Hera Hub’s Business Book Club are threefold:

1. Expose members to current and/or classic business books that may positively impact their entrepreneurial experience.

2. Facilitate discussion around books to enrich the reading experience both in person and online.

3. Learn about current business trends and ideas.

As an added bonus, any Hera Hub member who writes a book has the option to use one of the locations for their book launch party.

“The proceeds of books sold through Business Book Club go into a fund that helps Hera Hub authors with the expenses of book release parties,” said  Dr. Mah.

If you’re looking to begin or build upon your business library, these titles are a great place to start. From sales to finding your purpose; there is something to be learned from each one. In honor of yesterday’s National Author’s Day, here are the seven books our members read in 2015.
