The Great Remembering

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, The Knot
With compassionate curiosity about what makes us human, June takes us on an archeological tour of the ancient yearning pulsating beneath all of our evolving technologies and changing moral fashions – to make sense of our mortality and rejoice in our aliveness, to salve our suffering and give shape to our joy. What a revelation, what an invitation, to discover that people who had no notion of gravity, genetics, or democracy answered the questions we live with more wisely than we do – a beckoning to rethink how we make of our fragile embodiment a cathedral of meaning. – Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian
June Cohen’s essential book hooks you from the very first sentence and takes you on a journey of rediscovery that will fill you with joy and rouse you with determination to implement the wisdom she animates with effortless grace. The Great Remembering is an urgent and important book that you won’t soon forget. – Bruce Feiler, seven-time best-selling author of Walking The Bible, Life is in the Transitions and A Time to Gather
An electrifying, dizzying, wondrous celebration of humanity, then and now. I finished it feeling connected, inspired, hopeful. – Keith Ferrazzi, best-selling author of Never Eat Alone

I’ve never seen the science explained better for a lay audience. – Charles Raison, Professor of Psychiatry and Human Ecology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
