‘This book is a must have for anyone charged with the responsibility of chairing a meeting or participating in one in any way...’

‘I was thrilled to find in this remarkable book a straightforward and powerful guide to how we can run great meetings consistently, enjoyably and with long-lasting effectiveness.’

‘A major contribution to a much-neglected area of practice – both thoughtful and thorough.’

‘The authors tease, coax and guide readers towards a fresh view of human relationships and social structures, towards a vision that subverts conditional heirarchies of power by making “meetings” not only occasions to imagine and plan transformative action, but occasions to practice a new politics of reprocity and collaboration.’

‘Meeting Together is an amazing and excellent book.’
