The Art of Gathering reframes how we plan meetings, parties, and rituals so they feel purposeful instead of routine, while The Art of Fighting explores how healthy conflict can strengthen relationships, teams, and communities rather than break them apart. Together, these two brand-new books offer a complete, practical toolkit for anyone who wants to gather people well, disagree well, and build stronger, more honest connections at home, at work, and in the wider world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePriya Parker has spent her career studying how people come together, working as a professional facilitator for organizations ranging from museums to universities, and this set collects her two landmark books on the subject. The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters draws on her original research to argue that most meetings, dinners, and conferences fail because hosts default to outdated conventions instead of designing for a real, specific purpose. Parker offers a practical framework for turning any gathering, from a board meeting to a birthday party, baby shower, or family holiday dinner, into a meaningful and memorable experience, so guests leave feeling truly connected rather than merely present in the room. The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict takes this thinking further, examining why so many of us avoid disagreement entirely and what we quietly lose when we do so. Drawing on her training in conflict resolution, Parker makes the case that \"healthy heat\" can deepen trust rather than destroy it, and offers concrete, usable tools for entering conflict with care and navigating it toward resolution. Read together, these two books show how thoughtful gathering and honest conflict reinforce one another, giving readers a fuller, more practical picture of what it truly takes to build lasting community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo books from one acclaimed author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch-backed frameworks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for teams and families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngaging, story-driven style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for hosts and managers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers meeting and disagreeing well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters — Parker shows how design turns meetings into shared experiences.\u003cbr\u003eThe Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict — Parker turns avoided disagreement into a tool for growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePriya Parker is a facilitator and strategic advisor whose clients have included the Museum of Modern Art, the World Economic Forum, and LVMH.
