# Third place In [[The Great Good Place (book)]], [[Ray Oldenburg]] has argued that we have two main places in our lives, "home" (the first place), and "work" (the second place). In addition, he also described a third place: "communities", which are separate from the first two. He considered that third places are important for society, democracy, civic engagement, the sense of belonging, etc. ## Related - [[Fourth place]] ## References - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place - https://www.today.com/life/inspiration/third-place-meaning-rcna94279
