Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters

From the host of the New York Times podcast  Together Apart , an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond.In  The Art of Gathering , Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play.
