    Dimitris Xygalatas: "Ritual"
    Jan 14 2026
    , Michael speaks with cognitive scientist and anthropologist Dr. Dimitris Xygalatas, author of Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living. From firewalking and pilgrimages to sports fandom and workplace traditions, they explore why rituals are a fundamental part of human nature—and why shared, in-person experiences create meaning, connection, and belonging. Drawing on research, personal stories, and Michael’s own “Mingle Project,” this conversation makes the academic and emotional case for why ritual and human connection matter more than ever in a divided, digital age. Original air date 14 January 2026. The book was published on 13 September 2022. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
