Rituals, Meaning and Mental Health

Human behavior is filled with rituals in part because the brain is a pattern-seeking machine. So, does that mean they're just mental feedback loops, or can they help bring meaning to our lives? This week's panel of Dave Verhaagen, Kevin Dixon, and Sam Barnhart take a close look at the healthy--and sometimes not-so-healthy roles that rituals play in our spiritual and secular lives. - - - Do you have a comment or question about mental health and spiritual issues?
