About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

How to create the most transformative meetings and moments.

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-centred 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.

the real-life anecdotes presented.

surprisingly relevant in today's day and age. not much care is put on gatherings in the information era. The book is perfect for not only introducing a new perspective on gatherings but it is also a ideal on exploring different avenues for a wide range of preferences.
