This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Awe is a mysterious emotion, one that’s hard to quantify yet unforgettable when experienced. How do we measure the goosebumps we feel while gazing at the Grand Canyon or the pure amazement we feel when witnessing a child take their first steps? For centuries, awe has eluded scientific explanation, but recent revolutionary research reveals just how vital this emotion is to human survival. It’s through awe that we’ve learned to cooperate, form communities, and create culture—skills that have ensured our evolutionary success. In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents an extensive exploration of this elusive emotion, weaving together groundbreaking research with an exploration of awe across history, cultures, and his own personal life. By delving into the ways awe shapes our lives and actions, Keltner offers a new understanding of how we can harness this feeling to improve our mental well-being and build deeper connections with the world around us. Awe is both a profound investigation and a practical guide, filled with insightful revelations about how cultivating awe in our daily experiences helps us appreciate the most humane aspects of our nature. Through its radical and transformative ideas, Keltner shows us how awe can become a powerful and necessary force for personal and societal growth. Duration - 45m. Author - SellWave Audio.
