Dacher Keltner, a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the faculty director of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, presents an extraordinary exploration of awe in his groundbreaking book, Awe. As an eminent expert in the science of emotions and a consultant to Pixar's Inside Out, Keltner delves into the enigmatic phenomenon of awe that has until recently remained largely unexplored. In this thought-provoking work, he delves into how awe has the power to transform our brains and bodies, revealing new findings from cutting-edge research. Keltner draws from his own personal experiences, including a period of grief, to illustrate the profound impact of awe on our lives. At a time when our world appears increasingly divided and beset by crises, Keltner argues that cultivating awe in our everyday lives is essential. Appreciating awe enables us to tap into our most humane qualities, leading to enhanced reasoning, fresh insights, and strengthened bodies. Awe propels us to connect with others, fostering strong networks and a desire to improve the world around us. Furthermore, Keltner explores how awe inspires the creation of art, music, and religion, ultimately transforming who we are. Awe is an enlightening and practical field guide that not only sheds light on the subject but also serves as a personal exploration by the author himself. With its powerful message and profound insights, Awe is a must-read for anyone seeking to harness the transformative power of awe in their own lives.
