FINDING YOUR THIRD PLACE: BUILDING HAPPIER COMMUNITIES (AND MAKING GREAT FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY)
An exciting new look at our essential gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven
Lakewood, CO — June 25th– In Finding Your Third Place, noted thinker Rick Kyte looks at the importance of Third Places, those places where we gather outside of our home (first place) and our work (second place). Third places can range from a neighborhood tavern, to a community center, to a local bookstore or coffee shop, and are the critical gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven. As nationally syndicated columnist Amy Dickinson notes, Kyte provides “insight into the vital human experience of connection and friendship [that] is both scholarly and inspiring.” Combining storytelling, social science, and philosophy in a highly accessible and readable manner, Finding Your Third Place highlights the following:
What makes a third place
What it takes to find and create a third place of your own
Factors that create and support vibrant communities
The role of hospitality in creating belonging and social connection
How third places foster friendships and bind us to others in our community
For an ever-growing list of reasons, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness and when our communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in reinforcing this simple idea.
