This episode is a fascinating exploration and book review of "Beyond Culture" by American anthropologist Edward T. Hall. We explore Chapter 5 "Rhythm and Body Movement" and how people literally "sync" their movements together whether in close conversation or in large groups. The highlighted points here relate to the dangers of being out of sync together or "out of phase" and how this decreases progress. One of the positives coming out of the Hurricane Helene damage in states like North Carolina is people "group syncing" together and working together in time...there is a rhythm there, and when FEMA and certain government officials came into the mix--they literally ruined the group sync which made locals very MAD! Our own government is out of phase with its own people, so, if you want to rebuild America, and the world for that matter, get "in sync" and get "in phase" with others for the right reasons (First, do NO harm!).
