Our lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to boost productivity - what we come to know as habits. But when a layer of mindfulness accompanies a habit - when we focus on the precise way an act is performed - a ritual has been created. It's these rituals that make life worth living. To some, these behaviours may seem quirky, but because rituals matter so deeply to us on a personal level, they saturate our lives with purpose and meaning. Drawing on decades of original research, Michal Norton reveals that shifting from a "habitual" mindset to a "ritual" mindset can both enhance performance and add meaning to your life.
