Could Your Life Be More Awesome?

Can you remember the last time you felt that pure sense of awe or wonder you easily experienced as a child?

Moments of awe can take our breath away, bring tears to our eyes, trigger chills up our spine, or even rekindle our faith in the greater Divine. No wonder awe has become a growing area of scientific study. So far, we’ve learned that awesome experiences can lead to better health and expand our generosity.

Any time we experience a moment of deep appreciation, or feel we are in the midst of something magnificent or sublime, we are experiencing a moment of awe. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could trigger these feelings at will? According to Dacher Keltner, director of the Greater Good Science Center, research is zeroing in on how to cultivate more awesomeness in our everyday lives.
