Branch Book Group details:

• Frequency: Six/Eight weekly sessions, starting January 2025
• Next event: 24 June 2025
• Format: Online
• Focus: A relevant business book selected by group members
• Book: "Carless People - A story of where I used to work" by Sarah Wynn-Williams

The book is a revealing memoir that delves into the inner workings of Facebook (now Meta) during Sarah Wynn-Williams' tenure as the Director of Global Public Policy from 2011 to 2017. Careless People exposes both the personal and political fallout when boundless power and a rotten culture take hold.

The Times describes this book as 'A Bridget Jones Diary-style tale of a young women thrown into a series of improbable situations'.

It is a must-read book!
