86. The Art of Gathering Fiddle and Pipe

- Books
It's been a long time coming but we are back! We are coming off our hiatus with Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters. We both went into this book thinking that it was going to be about literally why we gather (maybe from an anthropology approach) and in any context. Parker focuses a lot of her book on gathering in a formal context (work meetings, etc) and events with a specific purpose (weddings, baby showers, etc.). She does make some good points that we can apply to our day to day lives though! Parker argues that any gathering of three or more people with a specific purpose should be organized in such a way to maximize the experience, and she states that most of us aren't doing so. She leads the reader how to host these gatherings to transform the experience.
We might not have gotten everything out of it that Parker was intending, but we were able to apply many of her points to mental health and our podcast. We also are in awe that we are drinking the same seltzer and we discuss the idea of We are Here Days in Atlanta. Catherine pulls a Reiner and shows up to the podcast after watching an interview with Parker and Brittany decides to bring the whole staff of Olive Garden to Catherine's wedding. This, and more, on your favorite podcast!
