"You deserve a space where people know your name and are glad you showed up.

Spaces like these are what sociologists call a "third place" — a space that's not home and not work where you still feel like you belong.

Some people find third spaces in book clubs, fitness centers, church choirs, or bowling alleys. But psychologist Michelle Thompson suggests turning to your local cornhole league."
