7 Ways to Tap Into AWE

Did you know there’s neuroscience research on AWE?

One of the leaders, Dr Dacher Keltner, recently published a book called, Awe: The New Science of Every Day Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life.

He describes awe as: “the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends your understanding of the world.”

Being a social scientist, he’s interested in emotion and actually studies how the sensation of awe affects our biology! Not only does it calm your nervous system, it also activates the body to make oxytocin, the love hormone!
