A Harvard professor on how to elevate everyday activities in order to lift your mood, improve your relationships and rise to new challenges.


Michael Norton is the Harold M. Brierley Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. He has studied human behavior as it relates to love and inequality, time and money, and happiness and grief. He is the author of The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions.


In this episode we talk about:


  • The difference between habits and rituals
  • How rituals impact various spheres of life, including creativity, grief and politics - and how not all rituals are beneficial
  • how to transform your everyday activities into rituals and how they can inject meaning into your life and give a boost to your relationships
  • How to introduce rituals into your workplace without falling back on cliché (like trust falls)
