      Think of the quirky traditions that you keep up with your friends. Or the unusual ways that you and your family mark special occasions. Or the gifts that your partner gives - and what you'd think if they'd bought the same for an ex. These are rituals- practices that are imbued with symbolic meaning. And they have the power to turn black-and-white moments into technicolour. Along the way, Norton shares stories from sporting superstars (Serena Williams always bouncing the ball five times before her first serve), million-dollar companies (Zipcar urging staff to destroy their old desktops with sledgehammers) and ordinary people (inventing their own \"ritual signatures\"), who reimagine everyday moments, build camaraderie, and spark joy. Rituals can help us to forge winning teams, heal families experiencing grief and encourage us rise to challenges, big or small. Now it's time to create yours.

      Pomimo tytułu nie jest to tak naprawdę przewodnik ani dzieło teologiczne. Myślę, że można to nazwać opowieścią przygodową, która dzieje się w zaświatach. Idea Czyśćca jest prawie wyłącznie nauką rzymskokatolicką, ale nawet katolicy nie zawsze ją rozumieją. Niektórych uczono uważać Czyściec za przerażające miejsce (...). jednak wśród katolików zawsze istniały inne sposoby ujmowania tej rzeczywistości, które uznawały konieczność istnienia Czyśćca jako miejsca uzdrowienia i przemiany, a nie kary, widząc w Czyśćcu przedmieścia nie piekła, lecz Nieba, gdzie dusze są wyzwalane od obsesji i samooszukiwania się, nabytych podczas ich ziemskiego życia. Pomyślałem więc, że ciekawym pomysłem byłoby opisanie Czyśćca (...) jako miejsca, które byłoby piękne i pełne nadziei (...). od Autora
