答复: The Art of Community

[tan zhongyi <zh...@gmail.com>]

Thanks for your recommendation.
I will check it out.

BTW: Jono Bacon’s latest book is 《People Powered: how communities can supercharge your business, brand, and teams》
Which is also very good.

Best wishes,
Jerry

主题: The Art of Community
I want to recommend something I'm reading right now - The Art of
Community, by Charles Vogl. I regret that I didn't read it years ago.

I'm two chapters in, and have had dozens of moments where I have been
floored by the insight, and the clear ways of talking about what makes a
community.

The first chapter is about how we define a community - what it's
*about*, or *for*. What the shared story is that makes us a community.
It is full of insights that have helped me focus things I feel I have
known for years but never had words for, and also opened my eyes to some
things that I simply had never thought about.

My impression so far is that the ASF does all seven of the things that
Vogl says are critical for a healthy community, but while some of them
are done intentionally, many of them we kind of fell into accidentally.
Thinking more intentionally about them seems like a useful exercise.

Note: There's another book called The Art of Community by Jono Bacon. I
have not read that one.

Again, please note that I am recommending the book by Charles Vogl, NOT 
the book by Jono Bacon - which I am sure is probably excellent but I 
have not read it.

Thank you Rich for the recco- and thank you tan, I'm glad to hear Jono's
new book is good too- (I bought it on impulse and was having second
thoughts about it, but hadn't started it yet)
