The Chairs Are Where the People Go: How to Live, Work, and Play in the City by Sheila Heti, Misha Glouberman
5.0
Fun little book containing words of wisdom, snippets and viewpoints from a very smart guy. He sounds really funny and I would have loved to take one of his improv classes.
The way he recommends doing conferences is genius. It's so true that conferences are often full of people who all share the same passion, but who unfortunately only get to listen to one person speak instead of use that time to make connections. I love the idea of conferences as opportunities to be social and let everyone talk in small groups instead.
He also had some great points on neighborhood activism, and how to speak up when something is really bothering you, but also how to compromise with the businesses and others you share your neighborhood with.
The ideas for games were also great, and I will probably incorporate a few of them with friends. Charades never sounded so fun.
