The Ritual Effect by Michael Norton

In the bestselling tradition of Charles Duhigg's>The Power of Habit and Angela Duckworth's Grit, a renowned social psychologist demonstrates how a subtle turning of habits into rituals can clear a little space for everyday magic (The Guardian) in our lives.

Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track--what we come to know as habits. Over time, these routines (like brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we're more mindful about these actions--when we focus on the precise way they are performed--they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a habitual mindset to a ritual mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to technicolor.

Think about the way you savor a certain beverage, the care you take with a particular outfit that gets worn only on special occasions, the unique way that your family gathers around the table during holidays, or the secret language you enjoy with your significant other. To some, these behaviors may seem quirky, but because rituals matter so deeply to us on a personal level, they give our lives purpose and meaning. Drawing on a decade of original research, Norton shows that rituals play a role in healing communities experiencing a great loss, marking life's major transitions, driving a stadium of sports fans to ecstasy, and helping us rise to challenges and realize opportunities.

Compelling, insightful, and practical, The Ritual Effect reminds us of the intention-filled acts that drive human behavior and create sur-prising satisfaction and enjoyment.
