Every day, we find ourselves in gatherings, Priya Parker says in The Art of Gathering. If we can understand what makes these gatherings effective and memorable, then we can reframe and redirect them to benefit everyone, host and guest alike. Parker defines a gathering as three or more people who come together for a specific purpose. When we understand why we gather, she says - to acknowledge, to learn, to challenge, to change - we learn how to organize gatherings that are relevant and memorable.

Nice ideas but too long
Revisado: 06-06-19
I believe the book could be abbreviated for casual listeners. If you are not a professional event planner, many parts of the book were extra. That said, I learned a lot of cool ideas too. I probably will forget the stories, but will remember to plan events more purposefully.

The Remains of the Day is a profoundly compelling portrait of the perfect English butler and of his fading, insular world in postwar England. At the end of his three decades of service at Darlington Hall, Stevens embarks on a country drive, during which he looks back over his career to reassure himself that he has served humanity by serving "a great gentleman". But lurking in his memory are doubts about the true nature of Lord Darlington's "greatness" and graver doubts about his own faith in the man he served.

Telling a story through specific details
Revisado: 01-17-18
I loved this book. You can "see" the beautiful art of wrestling with details and how graciously he changes the subject of the story through the slightest moves.

Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. But on the brink of fatherhood - facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf - his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong.

informative!
Revisado: 06-08-16
this was my first read on factory farming and animal welfare in agriculture and I learned from it a lot. I certainly recommend it but if I want to be critical, I think the last %30 of the book could be traded for some more data. maybe because I was not looking for a book telling any story here buy would prefer a dry factual research. for the most part the book was like that except for the last part.

This is the first part of Alexa Polidoro's famous French for Beginners course. After many years of developing and harnessing her language-teaching skills with The French Ecole and Lingomania, Alexa has now created an audio treat for people who wish to learn a new language from scratch, without any pressure, in fun, relaxed and manageable chunks.

Commuter-french beginner-"lingo-maniac"

What made the experience of listening to French for Beginners the most enjoyable?
The structure of it was very easygoing and it did not rely much on grammar or spelling so I could listen to it while I was driving or running on treadmill and that was very enjoyable for me.
What about Alexa Polidoro’s performance did you like?
It was great. The way she did it was not stressful and she talked about everyday needs in French so you felt you can actually practice them everyday in your head. Also it was very important that she didn't bother with grammatical points too much, and also with songs and breaks in the middle of each lesson it was relaxing to listen to them.
