'We were right all along. A joyous baedeker of six ancient traditions that can recharge, inspire and perhaps change us for the better.' Seth Godin, author of The Knot

'What a revelation, what an invitation . a cathedral of meaning' Maria Popova, author of Figuring

What if the most powerful solutions for the crises of modern life are ten thousand years old?

Modern life is full of advice about how to feel better, think better and live better – yet many of us still feel anxious, lonely and cut off from meaning.

In The Great Remembering, June Cohen travels across cultures, continents and centuries to uncover the wisdom systems our ancestors built to feel more fully alive.

From epic physical ordeals, sauna and cold plunge to psychedelic ceremony and shared rituals of grief, these were not superstitions, but sophisticated social technologies grounded in close observation of the body, the mind and the bonds between people.

The Great Remembering is a bold, hopeful book about how we might live now – by recovering what modern life has left behind.
