Ritual : how seemingly senseless acts make life worth living / Dimitris Xygalatas.
In 'Ritual', a pioneering anthropologist takes readers on a journey through the rich tapestry of human ritual - showing how and why our most irrational behaviours are a key driver of our success. Ritual is one of the oldest, and certainly most enigmatic, threads in the history of human culture. It presents a profound paradox: people ascribe the utmost importance to their rituals, but few can explain why they are so important.
