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

4.0

I read this for work and was not expecting to enjoy it (simply because the genre/topic felt homework-y), but I really LOVED this. It really made me think about how parties and events are a reflection of the human condition and our need to create order and community. It also inspired me (a self-diagnosed introvert) to host more and rethink some elements of my wedding planning.

The writing was very accessible and relatable too!
