BRUCE’S LATEST BOOK
A Time to Gather
How Ritual Created the World—and How It Can Save Us
One of our great decoders of human connection chronicles the astonishing rise of new rituals around the world—and offers a road map for restoring togetherness with gatherings you’ll love
Humans have long turned to ritual to connect us in times of change. Until today, when we’ve largely abandoned them. Can this threat to society be reversed?
To find out, Bruce Feiler went on a round-the-world ritual road trip, joining life rituals in sixteen countries on six continents. Beyond decline, Bruce discovered that we are in the midst of a ritual renaissance, when everyday people are fresh ways to gather around life, love, health, and family.
From a master storyteller uncovering a thrilling phenomenon hiding in plain sight, A Time to Gather is a stirring adventure, a practical manual to creating great celebrations, and an invitation to reconnect and rejoice—together.
