About this Event
Welcome to the RBC Sydney event, where we'll be diving into January's theme, MORTAL, through this month's read, "" by Kathryn Mannix
With the End in Mind is ‘ incredibly moving, of course, but what it isn’t is miserable. Yes this is a book about death, but it is also a book about joy. There aren’t all that many books that change the way you see the world. This book really might. It will make you want to do a better job of loving and living. It will make you want to be kinder. And it will make you want to cherish every precious moment of your precious life.’ - Sunday Times
Inspired by our monthly non-fiction reads, our mix of part cocktail party, part creative classroom is a recipe that builds your reading habit while connecting with like minded people.

Your hosts for the evening
Sruthi Ravi
Sruthi spent a lot of time trying to find the right book club before RBC came along. She loves watching cricket, curling up with a good book, and to travel the world.
Dreamer, bookworm and feminist, Sruthi loves to meet new people, and learn more about the world we live in.
Most impactful RBC moment: "The most impactful book have been the ones that have challenged me to look at how I live my life. These books empowered me to make changes to my sleep habits, and change my actions as a consumer, as a friend/partner and as a member of society."
Emma Noller
Emma is a neuro-spicy, chaotic good character who has been teaching for the past 8 years. A former London RBC member, she is so excited to be a part of bringing this amazing experience to Sydney. She can’t wait to reconnect with the amazing people and opportunities that RBC is known for.
She loves travel, connecting with people and thinks that learning is a life-long journey. Why not do it in the most creative ways you can!
Most impactful RBC moment: "Discussing Lost Connections with a psychologist who changed our point of view. She did this by disagreeing with what the author was saying about reliance on Medic*tion. It was a lens I hadn’t looked through reading the book; this actually started my journey on learning more about my ADHD, how my brain can work for me and finding the support networks I needed to be the most efficient and creative I could be."
About With the End in Mind: How to Live and Die Well
What if everything you thought you knew about death was wrong? How should we prepare for the facts of dying and saying our goodbyes? And what if understanding death improved your life?
We have no cure for death. We’re getting better at postponing it, but sooner or later it comes to us all. So getting informed and prepared seems a good idea.
By turns touching and tragic, funny and wise, With the End in Mind brings together Kathryn Mannix ’ s lifetime of medical experience to tell powerful stories of life and death.
