    “The Disappearance of Rituals is a thoughtful critique of modern life and our constant pursuit of productivity, novelty, and individualism. Han argues that rituals give life structure, meaning, and a sense of community—and that their disappearance leaves us increasingly isolated and restless. A short but surprisingly deep book that makes you rethink the small routines and traditions that give everyday life meaning.”
