Listen "The transformative power of everyday wonder"
Episode Synopsis
Awe is a complex and mysterious emotion. Summoned by the extraordinary, it can be inspired by the divine, the beauty of nature or the force of human achievement. Awe stimulates curiosity and allows us to see the deep patterns in life. It can boost our mood, social connections and improve our life satisfaction. Yet in our modern world, we have become awe deprived. Our culture has become more materialistic and less connected to others. We spend more time on our phones and less time outdoors. In an inspiring conversation at the RSA, Dacher Keltner, the foremost expert on the science of emotions will explore ways that we can all find more wonder in our lives. To show how awe can transform our minds, bodies, and social connections for the better, Dacher will draw on cutting-edge research and deeply moving personal stories from people all over the world. #RSAWonderBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join
