Ep 2: Generous Authority, Wordle Buddies & The Art of Gathering (with Josh Blue)

Episode 2: The Art of Gathering (with Josh Blue) In Episode 2 of _Doug Reads With Friends_, Doug calls up his friend Josh Blue—Grinnell alum, Hong Kong–based educator, and one of Doug’s daily companions thanks to a remarkably committed New York Times puzzle Facebook group. Josh chose The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters by Priya Parker, a book about why so many meetings, dinners, and events feel flat—and how intentionality, belonging, and what Parker calls generous authority can transform the way we bring people together. Doug and Josh talk about building community abroad, why Hong Kong became home, reading and book clubs, translanguaging and bilingual parenting, cultural differences in how people gather, and the risks (and rewards) of asking people to step outside their comfort zones. For the next episode on February 6, I will be discussing Lost in Oaxaca with Alicia Hayes. As always: the book is the excuse, the friendship is the reason.
