Book Review: 5/5 Impact On Me (Book Priya Parker)

I read this book and it was a great next-level supplement to "The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings" by Nick Gray. It got me thinking about the purpose every time I invite friends. I learned to arrange all parts of an event to meet that purpose. For example, is your wedding about honoring your parents' contributions? Or is it a celebration of your love with friends? Another thing is deciding who to invite for a lunch get-together. Think of the purpose to decide whom to invite. Think of the difference between a cocktail party, a formal dinner, and more.
