How Meaningful Gatherings Can Make You a Better Human

Midday on WNYC | May 14, 2018

Priya Parker discusses her new book The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters in which she argues that a human-centered approach to gathering is essential, now more than ever. Parker draws on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience.

Priya Parker will be in conversation with Anand Giridharadas  on May 15 at 6:30 pm at NeueHouse                        (110 East 25th Street). 

Priya Parker will in conversation with Melissa Bell on May 16 at 7 pm at Strand Books (828 Broadway).

This segment is guest hosted by Kai Wright.
