Awe & Wonder with Dacher Keltner

How can we experience more awe & wonder in daily life?
If you've ever felt disconnected from the world around you - or like you're living on 'autopilot' - then you need more awe in your life!
At this special event, social psychologist Professor Dacher Keltner will show how experiencing more awe can help us open our minds to everyday wonder, collaborate better with others and see the deeper patterns of life.
Prof Keltner will share insights from his research into how awe transforms our brains and bodies. He'll also reflect on the role of awe across history, culture and within his own life during a period of immense grief. And he'll explain how cultivating a sense of wonder can lead us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature.
This conversation with Dr Mark Williamson was recorded at a live Action for Happiness event on the 26th of April 2023 actionforhappiness.org.

Superb interview.
Back in 2014 I successfully completed the Berkeley University Science of Happiness course (GG101x) which was one the best mental health training courses I have ever attended, even though I have worked in the mental health field for over 45 years. That course was widely promoted by Action For Happiness. Across the world over 60,000 people took part in that training.
I am currently completing the training that Dacher mentioned, ‘Awe For Educators’, which is equally superb.
In Brighton and Hove, where I am one of the Co-organisers of the local A4H group, we intend showing this video, followed by group discussion, early in 2024 during one of our monthly meetings. I will have the pleasure of leading that particular session 🥳👍❤

Clouds in all forms and shapes and colors. Winter tree branches against a sunset sky. Autumn leaves dancing on the ground in the wind.

Congratulations on your first post-we need more awe in our lives, and Dacher Keltner has written the definitive book on where to find it. As a preeminent expert on the science of awe, he does a masterful job demystifying this powerful emotion and unpacking how it both elevates us and grounds us. What did this? I am in awe, already-is it really science or emotion?

God. Night skies in the country. Snowflakes and sand under microscope. Sea, wild and tranquil.

Watching newts slowly walk in a redwood forest- or in ponds in March reproducing. Newts. This is awe-some.
