We spend our lives in gatherings—weddings, board meetings, birthday parties, and conferences—yet most of them are lackluster. We obsess over the food, the venue, and the flowers, but we leave the human connection to chance.In today's 5-minute briefing on Priya Parker's transformative book, "The Art of Gathering," we debunk the myth of the "Chill Host."
