[ Gatherings ]

“The Art of Gathering” by Priya Parker is 280 pages about how we meet, and why it matters.  I’m always impressed when a good writer can take something benign, like “meetings” and write coherently about how to do it better.  Like Seinfeld being a show about nothing, it’s the nothing in our lives that can be most interesting.

How we meet, and why it matters, will become so much more important in the future.  We’ll soon realise that talking and listening are once again pretty good ways to communicate.  Like it was a hundred years ago, before, well, all this.
