Super fun having @manvir.bsky.social on the podcast (again)!

I strongly recommend his new book—especially if you like your non-fiction laced with personal narrative, quirky characters, & history of ideas.

Glad you enjoyed it!!

Book cover of Shamanism: The Timeless Religion by Manvir Singh

I really enjoyed Manvir Singh's Shamanism: The Timeless Religion. Addictive listen and great mix of anthropology, history, and religion.

Thank you, @kensycoop.bsky.social, for having me on! We had a great conversation about shamanism—its cognitive foundations, place in Paleolithic societies, role in Abrahamic religions, manifestations in industrialized societies (including hedge wizards), and much more.

I loved this interview about shamanism with @manvir.bsky.social

It offers *such* a radically different perspective on why we see shamans all over the world entering altered states of consciousness that one might call "trance"

The anthropologist who says shamanism works, even if you don’t believe Shamanism is on the rise, both in practice and in popular culture. Manvir Singh has spent years exploring why it is so enduring, what we can learn from it and the surprising forms modern shamans take

Why I Wear the Turban The headwear is burdened by stereotypes—but it can carry, too, the pleasures of self-invention.

My newest essay is about wearing a turban: what it means to me, what others assume about it, and why the most personally meaningful symbols can also feel the most burdensome. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Why I Wear the Turban The headwear is burdened by stereotypes—but it can carry, too, the pleasures of self-invention.

According to one study, nearly 80 per cent of Sikh boys with head coverings in the U.S. report being bullied. Manvir Singh writes about why he wears a turban.

Shamanism by Manvir Singh | Review | Spirituality & Practice A study of the psychological origins of all religion.

An important new book by Sikh author and PhD anthropologist, Manvir Singh. Very interesting how he makes clear that shamanism remains evident in religious practice all over the world. My review here: www.spiritualityandpractice.com/book-reviews...

Thank you, Roope!!

I also really enjoyed @manvir.bsky.social 's book!
If you like it, it helps if you can leave a review (Amazon, Audible, etc.). Here's mine:

Fibished reading Shamanism by @manvir.bsky.social.

Stellar book. Reads like an engaging travelogue laced with HRAF and Erowid.

Ends with some very relevant discussion around contemporary anthropology's reluctance of dealing with systematic cross-cultural research.
