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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Gathering\u003c\/i\u003e will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRIYA PARKER\u003c\/b\u003e works to help people create collective meaning in their lives through gatherings.
