I was watching one of the office hours videos on YouTube and near the end, Courtland offered to send community-building book recommendations to one of the participants. I was wondering if Courtland could share those here and if anyone else has some great community-building books to share as well.
Here are a few good ones, some new, some classics:
https://www.people-and.com/get-together-book
https://www.amazon.com/Building-Brand-Communities-Organizations-Belonging/dp/1523086610
https://www.amazon.com/Buzzing-Communities-Bigger-Better-Active/dp/0988359901 (I think he's working on an updated version of this)
https://www.amazon.com/Art-Community-Seven-Principles-Belonging/dp/1626568413/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=communities&qid=1598735945&s=books&sr=1-8
I'm always looking for new ones to add to my bookshelf, so I'll be watching other responses here too!

Hi Jonathan,
I haven't read these books but I curated books which we can read to know what, why and how of communities. Hopefully this will help you. :)
