In this brief conversational excerpt, two speakers recount their experience in a highly structured, monthly book‑reading accountability group introduced by a mentor. The group required each participant to read a designated book, write notes, and come prepared to discuss it each month. Membership involved signing a formal 12‑month contract that also required the participant’s spouse to co‑sign, guaranteeing attendance and adherence. The speakers describe the process as intense, likening it to a cult, and note the social pressure and commitment required, while also reflecting on how the disciplined format helped them apply book insights to their lives.
