Publisher's Synopsis
From its humble start-up beginnings, AirBnB has quickly become a global phenomenon. Yet for as many peope who love it, there are just as many who can't imagine participating it. Letting strangers into your house? Why would someone ever choose to do that? In The World in Your Living Room, Lauren Meeks tells you exactly why. In her frank and story-telling style, she pokes holes in many common objections people have to hosting strangers in their home, including: -Isn't is dangerous? - What if something terrible happens? - They're so different from me! - They don't speak my language - how would we communicate with each other? - And more... By addressing these objections and championing vulnerability, Lauren encourages her readers to open up their hands and homes to the unknown. To allow growth and vibrancy in their lives by embracing the unfamiliar and being willing to learn from those who are different from themselves.
