Priya Parker has a popular TED Talk and teaches people to gather better at home, at work, at school and in our communities. Priya 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, Priya sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Priya takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn’t, and why.
