Description

How to create the most transformative meetings and moments’Priya Parker has created both an art and a science to gathering in ways that can bring joy and fulfilment to any meeting’ Deepak Chopra ‘Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!’ Chris Anderson, creator of TED——————————————————————————————– Being deprived of gathering has revealed just how important it is to us; to connect with others, collaborate, share ideas and create moving, life-affirming experiences. At a time when coming together is more crucial than ever, Priya Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that can help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences in their lives, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her wide 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 – a court hearing, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp – and explains how simple changes can invigorate any group experience.

The result is a book full of exciting ideas of real-world applications and one that will forever alter the way you look at your next business meeting, dinner party and garden barbecue. ——————————————————————————————– ‘A long overdue and urgent manifesto’ Seth Godin, New York Times bestselling author of This is Marketing
