the original episode had not properly saved the guest portion of the audio. This is the full conversation with even more minimal editing than usual. A Snyder cut if you will. Enjoy. Episode 96 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into PSYCHOLOGY OF RELIGION! This summer we are going to discuss religion from a psychological and historical perspective as we investigate the evolutionary origins and modern social systems of religion. In this episode we discuss RITUAL BEHAVIOR with Dr. Matt Rossano and Dr. Tracy Henley. While Dr. Rossano on his own is one of the most cited evolutionary psychology experts on ritual, combined with Dr. Henley they are some of the early founders of cognitive archology. We discuss ritual, hominid behavior, and modern shifts in communal and ritual behavior in one of our favorite interviews yet!

Nick talks to anthropologist Dr. Dimitris Xygalatas, who is an associate professor at the University of Connecticut. His research interests center around human ritual behavior and the interaction between cognition and culture. They discuss his new Book, "Ritual: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living." Topics covered: Rituals vs. habits; the psychological purpose of ritual; ritualism as an antidote to anxiety; religion and spiritual practices; culture & the birth of civilization; the physiological and psychoactive effects of ritual; Ayahuasca and psychoactive drugs; rituals in sports, gambling, and other human activities; the evolution of language & symbolic cognition; religion, community & Burning Man.USEFUL LINKSBuy "Ritual" by Dimitris Xygalatas[https://linktr.ee/mindandmatter_books]Sign up for the weekly Mind & Matter newsletter[https://mindandmatter.substack.com/?sort=top]Follow Nick's work through Linktree:[https://linktr.ee/trikomes]Elysium Health, a life sciences company focused on aging research.
