John is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. In this talk, we discuss how ancient cultures and tribes had rituals, ceremonies and initiations into personhood that we have lost in modernity. We discuss the origins of these rituals, where they went and what the negative impacts of their void is on our mental wellbeing, our society and our familiies. There is a lot of very important stuff in this episode, and I hope you agree.
