<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Rites to a Good Life is the definitive guide on how to think about and restore practices of ritual healing to everyday contemporary life. This exhaustive handbook is essential for the well-being of all individuals, families, and communities. Poised in the middle of a conversation between the ancient past and the present-day, Marx translates indigenous wisdom practices into the needs and realities of our present-day world.</p><p> </p><p>This is a spiritual book for all those who've given up on religion and spirituality, yet recognize that</p><p>something is missing in their life. There's nothing New-Agey here. It's full of</p><p>no-nonsense practical suggestions. </p><p> </p><p>Self-help books tend to focus on the individual (i.e. "Here's what's wrong with you that</p><p>you need to fix.") But what if there were nothing to fix? What if we only</p><p>needed to drop more deeply into what already IS, experience it more fully, and</p><p>then consecrate it with simple ritual? This book focuses on the key processes</p><p>and relationships that make that possible (i.e. between parent and child, </p><p>individual and community, individual and nature).</p><p> </p><p>With a final chapter focusing on all the upheavals during 2020's Planetary Rite of</p><p>Passage (i.e. Covid, the economy, Black Lives Matter, and political turmoil), </p><p>Marx clarifies what happened and the opportunity that exists for all of us to</p><p>create positive change. The times demand change and Marx tells us what</p><p>rebirth might look like. Outdated tropes must die (i.e. "Looking out for #1,"</p><p>"Every man for himself," and "Whoever dies with the most toys wins.").</p><p> </p><p>This definitive handbook is full of practical advice for: </p><p> </p><p>- What parents can do with children.</p><p> </p><p>- How families can restore relations across the generations.</p><p> </p><p>- How to gain sustenance from nature.</p><p> </p><p>- Where to find the mentorship we require.</p><p> </p><p>- Who the leaders are who can introduce us to the future.</p><p><br></p>
