About this Event
Welcome to the RBC Vancouver event, where we'll be diving into October theme, Burnout: Exploring why burnout is happening more, how to prevent, or recover from it, through this month's read, Dr Claire Plumbly's .
More about Burnout:
Our nervous systems weren't designed for modern life's relentless assault—they handle acute stress but crumble under constant demands, trapping us in survival mode where rational thinking shuts down.
Dr. Claire Plumbly reveals why you can't "think" your way out of burnout and offers a science-based roadmap using polyvagal theory to soothe your hijacked nervous system back to full capacity—guiding your body out of perpetual fight-or-flight so you can actually think, create, and connect again.
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
Paige Eager
Paige joined Rebel Book Club in London in July 2018. She loves how RBC encourages her to explore new subjects and perspectives she might not have discovered otherwise.
After moving across the pond and missing the events and connections she made with fellow RBC'ers, she wanted to recreate that experience in vibrant Vancouver.
Top RBC Reads:
- Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou
- Life 3.0, by Max Tegmark
- In Extremis: The Life of War Correspondent Marie Colvin, by Lindsey Hilsum
Amirali Sharifian
Amirali is a programming language designer for AI computers. Having made Vancouver his home, he found himself missing a like-minded community—one that thrives on curiosity, deep conversations, and a shared passion for learning. Rebel Book Club offers just that, and Amirali is excited to help grow a space where diverse perspectives come together to challenge ideas and expand horizons.
Amirali's nonfiction recommendations:
- The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size, by "Tor Nørretranders"
- Factfulness, by Hans Rosling
