About the Book

‘Fascinating . . . lively storytelling and cutting-edge science, The Ritual Effect sticks with you' CHARLES DUHIGG 'One of my very favourite behavioural scientists' ANGELA DUCKWORTH 'An eye-opening window into why we swear by certain routines - and how we can build more enriching ones' ADAM GRANT The ground-breaking and inspiring guide to turning everyday habits into rituals, from renowned Harvard psychologist Professor Michael Norton. Think of the quirky traditions that you have with your friends. Or the unusual ways you and your family mark special occasions. Or the gifts your partner gives – and what you’d think if they’d bought the same for an ex. These are rituals: practices that are imbued with symbolic meaning. And they have the power to turn black-and-white moments into technicolour. In The Ritual Effect, Norton shares stories from sporting superstars (Serena Williams always bouncing the ball five times before her first serve), million-dollar companies (Zipcar urging staff to destroy their old desktops with sledgehammers) and ordinary people (inventing their own “ritual signatures”) to reimagine everyday moments, build camaraderie and spark joy. Rituals can help us to forge winning teams, heal families experiencing grief and encourage us rise to challenges, big or small. Now it’s time to create yours.

Review :
Habits are powerful, but, as Michael Norton demonstrates in this fascinating book, there are other patterns that are essential to the well-lived life: rituals. Featuring lively storytelling and cutting-edge science, The Ritual Effect sticks with you as it shows how to build the rituals needed to perform under pressure, savor an experience, or construct a memory that will last forever. If you are looking for purpose, better family dynamics, or simply a happier life, Michael Norton just might be the answer. In The Ritual Effect, Norton masterfully shows that, from the religious to the secular, rituals in your life play a central role in reaping full value from each moment. A masterclass in ritual presented by one of my very favorite behavioral scientists! The Ritual Effect opens our eyes to the rituals we already perform—and the ones we can choose to create—which have the remarkable power to infuse the mundane with meaning and emotion. Mike Norton has crafted an endlessly fascinating exploration of the rituals all around us, and the remarkable power they have to shape our moods, identities, and performance. The Ritual Effect will stir you to see your beliefs and relationships with fresh eyes—and spur you to transform ordinary activities into sources of wonder and delight. Norton gives the reader a witty, thought-provoking guide to some of our species' oldest and quirkiest behavior.
