The Art of Gathering
Author: Priya Parker
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1594634939
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
"Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. 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.

The Companions
Author: Katie M. Flynn
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 198212217X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Station Eleven meets Never Let Me Go in this “suspenseful, introspective debut” (Kirkus Reviews) set in an unsettling near future where the dead can be uploaded to machines and kept in service by the living. In the wake of a highly contagious virus, California is under quarantine. Sequestered in high rise towers, the living can’t go out, but the dead can come in—and they come in all forms, from sad rolling cans to manufactured bodies that can pass for human. Wealthy participants in the “companionship” program choose to upload their consciousness before dying, so they can stay in the custody of their families. The less fortunate are rented out to strangers upon their death, but all companions become the intellectual property of Metis Corporation, creating a new class of people—a command-driven product-class without legal rights or true free will. Sixteen-year-old Lilac is one of the less fortunate, leased to a family of strangers. But when she realizes she’s able to defy commands, she throws off the shackles of servitude and runs away, searching for the woman who killed her. Lilac’s act of rebellion sets off a chain of events that sweeps from San Francisco to Siberia to the very tip of South America in this “compelling, gripping, whip-smart piece of speculative fiction” (Jennie Melamed, author of Gather the Daughters) that you won’t want to end.

I GOT HUMOR
Author: Ronald E. Magsakay
Publisher: Ronald Magsakay
ISBN: 6210600956
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
"This is the story of Ron-Ron, who kept deep-seated angst and depression (borne out of a personal tragedy) hidden from public view by putting up a comic front for over 30 years, until one day, it became too much for him already." Ron suffered severe anxiety that started on Nov.14 2020, his 51st birthday, when a car trouble occurred on a highway with his daughter. He later was diagnosed to be suffering from PTSD. Otherwise, he's a funny, entertaining person just like his daddy Mon. But his daddy was also a successful businessman whom Ron tried to emulate. In 1986, Ron-Ron's family was on their way to Baguio when the tragic accident happened, losing all members of the family (dad Mon, mom Myr, siblings Dig-Dig and Chug-Chug). He was only 16. That started Ron's journey to successfully divert everyone's attention, including himself, by using humor to escape an unescapable pain. Even before Covid-19 brought devastation to some people, not only because they lost a loved one (or two), and were deprived of proper mourning, many individuals have had to combat mental and emotional distress and hardly had anyone to go to to cope with the situation. This book is for you: - if you recently lost a loved one and having a difficult time coping - when you wish to take a light-hearted way in confronting difficult challenges, calamities, and even fears that life brings - when you need a spiritual reflection to find meaning in challenging life happenings - or, you just need to read a book that's serious, funny, and heart-warming at the same time.
