It's been a long time coming but we are back! We are coming off our hiatus with Priya Parker's The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters. We both went into this book thinking that it was going to be about literally why we gather (maybe from an anthropology approach) and in any context. Parker focuses a lot of her book on gathering in a formal context (work meetings, etc) and events with a specific purpose (weddings, baby showers, etc.). She does make some good points that we can apply to

Mark takes another turn in this section of his book, discussing pleasure seeking behavior, and the work of Kant and Nietzsche. We learn just how much Catherine wants too seduce
