Good Life Project · Why Rituals Matter More Than You Know, And How to Design Your Own | Bruce Feiler · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

I don't like the noise.

I think we should do long-stem yellow roses.

My sister says the dirt's my favorite part.

Long-stem yellow roses is completely hallmark, and I want nothing to do with it.

And I'm the one on the phone with the rabbi doing the negotiating.

I'm like, I think I need to call you back.

at which point I attempt to kind of middle child my way through a compromise here.

And I'm like to my sister, I'm like, I'm like, she lived with a guy for 65 years, you know, like she took care of him.

Like if she wants, she ought to be able to have what she have.

You want this.

So what do we do?

We bought three dozen yellow, long stem yellow roses and we didn't get dirt, but my dad loved to walk on Tybee Island, Georgia.

So we got little bags of sand and we gave people a choice.

And what I, what I later realized,

when I was talking to all these ritual designers realized is the ritual both surfaced the conflict and resolved the conflict in the course of it, giving us a way to kind of think, oh, my dad's not here to solve this problem.

He's, you know, but we have to solve it.

We are what's left of the group and the group needs to remake itself anew.

Okay, let's don't do this abstractly.

Let's do a real-time ritual design process for you, Jonathan Fields.

Okay, so tell me something.
