...or not. We tend not to associate the two, unless it's an in-depth analysis of cooking methods for your Passover dinner or analyses of Eastern Orthodox art. Still, check out David Brooks' column last week on the latest Musical smash hit on Broadway. From Brooks' column:
Rigorous codes of conduct allow people to build their character. Changes in behavior change the mind, so small acts of ritual reinforce networks in the brain. A Mormon denying herself coffee may seem like a silly thing, but regular acts of discipline can lay the foundation for extraordinary acts of self-control when it counts the most.
