Priya Parker | The Art of Gathering

Author Priya Parker and Vox Media’s Melissa Bell host a unique presentation to celebrate the launch of Parker’s new book “The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters.” Buy a copy of “The Art of Gathering” here: www.strandbooks.com/index.cfm...
Priya Parker has been studying people, and her observations are that the gatherings in people's lives have become routine: lackluster and unproductive. She believes that people now rely on the accepted conventions of gatherings and neglect those involved, the distinctiveness each individual brings to a meet-up. We are now in a time when coming together is more important, and Priya's new book “The Art of Gathering” is a guide on how to create a human-centered approach to gathering.
Priya's words will assist people in creating meaningful and memorable experiences in both work and play. She draws on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide variety of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can enliven any group experience.
Melissa Bell is the Publisher of Vox Media, the fastest growing modern media company known for its standout technology, high-fidelity advertising, and editorial networks that go deeper into the topics passionate people care about most.

Thanks for recording this. It helps explain why your book store still exists, and is great marketing.
A follow-up book that touches on the same topic that you may find useful: 'Badass: Making Users Awesome' by Kathy Sierra.
