You Must Have a Third Place

There is a small chain of fun and comfortable bookstores in Seattle called Third Place Books in which community members are invited to “browse, linger, lounge, relax, read, eat, laugh, play, talk, listen, and just watch the world go by”. “Sociologist Ray Oldenberg suggests that each of us needs three places: first is the home; second is the workplace or school; and beyond lies the place where people from all walks of life interact, experiencing and celebrating their commonality as well as their diversity. It is a third place. In his celebrated book, The Great Good Place, Oldenberg discusses how the cafes, pubs, town squares, and other gathering places make a community stronger and bring people together.” I invite you to consider these questions: When you are in your HOME place, what do you intend to do, accomplish, or experience there? When you are in your WORK place, what do you intend to do, accomplish, or experience there? Where is your THIRD PLACE? When you visit your third place, what do you intend to do, accomplish, or experience there?
