Bruce Feiler Book Talk

BRUCE FEILER is one of America’s most thoughtful voices on contemporary life–he uses original research into life transitions, life rituals, and life stories to help people find meaning and purpose in times of change.

Bruce is the author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including LIFE IS IN THE TRANSITIONS, THE SECRETS OF HAPPY FAMILIES, and COUNCIL OF DADS. His three TED Talks have been viewed more than five million times; he teaches the Webby Award-winning TED Course HOW TO MASTER LIFE TRANSITIONS; and he is a fellow at the Stanford Computational Psychology and Well-Being Lab.

Since time immemorial, humans have turned to ritual to connect us in periods of change. Until today. Birth rituals and coming-of-age rituals have plummeted; fewer than half of Americans are married; only one in three is buried. "It took us ten thousand years to establish cultural norms around how we mark collective life transitions," writes Bruce Feiler. "It took us fifty years to dismantle them." Can this threat to society be reversed?
