In The Art of Gathering , Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive—which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds 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. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue—and how you host and attend them. Review: Phenomenal book for community builders and gathering hosters. - A phenomenal book for anyone who is a club leader, who wants to build community from scratch, or who simply wants to put together a successful gathering of humans. As someone who has started various communities, I found that the principles laid out here ring very true in real-world settings. Very insightful observations and guidance. The book is a pleasure to read as well, it is approachable and does not belabor anything, but provides good illustrations of when things work and don't work and why. I mention this book to anyone interested in the subject of creating community. Review: Everyone should read this - Excellent book!!! Gave a perfect breakdown of how to create a perfect gathering. Also helped me understand why I hate my book club and how to fix it. Super interesting for anyone who enjoys the psychology of planned human interactions and how to make them better ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,243 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Interpersonal Relations (Books) #20 in Leadership & Motivation #66 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,676 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yOE-NKSFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal book for community builders and gathering hosters. *by S***V on November 21, 2025* A phenomenal book for anyone who is a club leader, who wants to build community from scratch, or who simply wants to put together a successful gathering of humans.

Gave a perfect breakdown of how to create a perfect gathering. Also helped me understand why I hate my book club and how to fix it. Super interesting for anyone who enjoys the psychology of planned human interactions and how to make them better ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A philosophy of putting on gatherings *by S***N on March 10, 2026* Humans are "social animals," so Aristotle said long ago. We gather together to get things done, whether those gatherings are familial, a work conference, religious, or a party. What makes a good gathering work? Are there universal rules that govern gatherings' format so that you can construct it to achieve a given goal? Yes, says Priya Parker, and this book seeks to show us how. I help organize biannual academic conferences as a part of my responsibilities as a university employee. Understanding how meetings work and why will help me co-design our conferences better. I've never read another book about this topic before, so this book did provoke some thought about how organizing the theater of an event could better bring about intended results like networking and audience engagement. The information about why we humans meet was not especially enlightening. Although it provided some outlandish examples for meetings, this section did not teach me a lot. What Parker did teach me pertained to the structure of gatherings. For instance, openings of gatherings are supposed to "honor and awe" the audience. This aim optimally engages an audience with the material of the gathering. I'll have to give some thought about how we can do that better in my projects. This book is more philosophical than a book of tips. It teaches us how to understand gatherings and to learn from all sorts of gatherings rather than just how to put on the best [insert type of gathering] get-together. That original aspect makes this book more valuable than a generic party-planning book. I've never read a book quite like it before. If you're interested in bringing audiences along for a ride, this book will show you how to do so effectively. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters - The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact - Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/205210057-the-art-of-gathering-how-we-meet-and-why-it](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/205210057-the-art-of-gathering-how-we-meet-and-why-it) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
