Dr. Mike, my wife and I recently completed your book on Audible. We enjoyed it very much and thought that your Audible delivery was quite masterful. We found the content to be very compelling, smart, and informative and we appreciated that it was engaging and serious while punctuated with humor. We have recommended it to several friends in the medical profession who we know feel very much the same as you. With a preponderance of Baby Boomer physicians headed toward retirement, it seems apparent that what you have described will become worse before it gets better. Here’s hoping that there will be a positive trend to look forward to in the not too distant future.

I recently completed Frederick Marx’s very timely and important book, Rites to a Good Life: Everyday Rituals of Healing and Transformation. Not only has the author brought forth elements of the ancient past into the present, but has also translated indigenous wisdom practices as they relate to the urgent needs that we have today to solve our real world problems.

Marx interweaves throughout the chapters the voices of those he has interviewed over the years as they express valuable insights that thread together the significance of rites of passage rituals and initiatory traditions and practices for the health and viability of the village, our community.

A community without traditions and rituals is “as shaky as a fiddler on the roof.” The fiddler, as Tevye in the musical production of the same name tells the audience, represents the fragile balance of life in the village. Marx warns that a world deprived of the rites of passage that maintain the traditions of our history is bereft of the foundation stones that maintain purpose and meaning to our very existence.

I found this book to be energizing and engaging in a powerfully poignant way that emphasizes how crucial it is today to reawaken the voices of our ancestors. As a person who has facilitated “men’s work” gatherings for the past 40 years, including rites of passage experiences for males of all ages, I recommend Frederick’s book as a primer for the path to mindful manhood. Consider it a valuable resource companion that serves as a roadmap for anyone on the journey to conscious awakening.
