What do you feel when you gaze up at the Milky Way,
take in a beautiful sunset,
stand at the base of a mountain that seems impossibly high,
or witness an extraordinary act of courage, kindness, or love?
Often, it's a profound sense of awe -
the overwhelming feeling we experience when we encounter something
vast that transcends our understanding.
In his book Awestruck, clinician, researcher, and multi-time author,
Dr. Jonah Paquette, reminds us that awe-inspiring moments are all around us.
Ranging from the grand to the commonplace, its these moments that hold part of the key to living a deeply fulfilling life.
In today’s conversation, which we are re releasing as part of our current mini series
On the power of mystery and wonder
Jonah and I will explore the life-changing potential of awe.
How this powerful emotion can help alleviate some of the struggles in our daily lives, from stress, to social isolation.
Why awe can be a catalyst for empathy, curiosity, and compassion,
And that as we reclaim space for moments of reverence for the ordinary,
everyday miracles,
We open up the possibility a deeper and more profound experience of life.
A life marked by greater joy and fulfillment.
