DACHER KELTNER: AWE IS FOR EVERYONE

Wonderstruck

Mar 15 2023 • 53 mins

Groundbreaking scientist, psychology professor and best-selling author Dacher Keltner's latest book, AWE: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life is an instant classic. Supported by field work, cultural survey, and autobiography, this essential volume explores the many benefits of pursuing, encountering, and embracing awe as an emotion--and as a regularly occurring experience to which we all have access. As Dacher tells Wonderstruck's Elizabeth Rovere, awe is also crucial to the future of social reform, urban planning and education. But, as Dacher explains, his own relationship with awe had been interrupted by grief after the death of his brother. "What went with him?" Dacher asks. "My capacity for awe." In intimate detail, Dacher reveals how he reclaimed it.
