June Cohen is co-creator of "TED Talks" and author of the new book "The Great Remembering."

From the pilgrimage to the sauna. From the cold plunge to a festival. From an athletic extreme to communal grieving.

Did our ancestors have it all figured out? Can looking back and remembering what people did in ancient times fix our modern day problems?

This question is explored in the new book The Great Remembering by June Cohen, co-creator of "TED Talks" and the podcast network behind "Masters of Scale."

Cohen's book speaks directly to our crisis of connection and purpose, but locates the remedy not in reframing how we see ourselves, but in recovering the communal practices that made humans feel they mattered in the first place.
