418: The Power of Ritual with Casper Ter Kuile

The Power of Ritual
with Casper Ter Kuile
------------------------------
After just five swipes of your newsfeed, and you'll immediately see ideology and groupthink dominate just about every conversation. As the world becomes more and more digital, we're simultaneously becoming more tribal.

The negative fallout is obvious, but what about the positives? What about a sense of purpose, belonging, ritual, and community? Can we find deep meaning and connection on our own terms? On this week's podcast, a Harvard researcher joins me to share his work on ritual and religion.

Listen & Learn:

  • Why agnostics are growing in numbers - but these are not atheists
  • How it's human nature to gather, share, celebrate, and establish norms
  • Is there such a thing as a leaderless tribe?
  • How to take the good and avoid the bad of organized groups and religion
