It was the turn of Phil Dobson to launch The Brain Book: How to think and work smarter yesterday evening at Soho Works in Shoreditch, London.

Phil was joined by former colleagues, clients, his nearest and dearest, and Soho House members to celebrate his smart and insightful new book, which, we learned, he didn’t even write – dictaphones, a few bottles of red wine and an Airbnb cottage are all you need to finish a book according to the man himself!

As he came to the end of his speech, Phil asked us all to spend some time thinking of three things we are grateful for and tell one another what they were, even then, ensuring we were all keeping our brains engaged.

The celebrations spilled into the neighbouring Shoreditch House, and were still going on as LID called it a night.
