The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters by Priya Parker

3.0

The book felt more like "The Art of emotionally vulnerable gatherings." Definitely felt like a through line is that important and memorable gatherings require deep connection and guiding that through emotion vulnerability. Admittedly, being vulnerable does lead to deeper connections, but I don't feel like I need to talk about "what love means to me" or etc in a dinner party with my friends. Examples given also felt a bit pretentious.
