What if awe was the secret ingredient to happiness? 🌿 In this episode, I sit down with UC Berkeley psychologist Dacher Keltner to explore how awe, compassion, and moral beauty can transform the way we live and age. We dive into the science of wonder — from the power of collective joy to how simple “awe walks” can boost your health, purpose, and connection.✨ Join us as we uncover why we’re truly born to be good and how awe might just be the key to midlife renewal.🎧 Tune in for the full conversation and get inspired to see life with fresh eyes.
