Helping One Another

In The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, the author, Priya Parker, explains that “every time people gather, they are being brought into the opportunity to help one another, to do what they couldn’t do or think up or heal alone.  And yet so often when we gather, we are gathered in ways that hide our need for help and portray us in the strongest and least heart-string light.”  Whether the purpose of gathering is to bring people together to create peace in the world or to celebrate a family birthday, this book is a valuable read.
