Ready to change the way you see the world? In this episode of The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly Watts dives into the fascinating science of awe. Inspired by Dacher Keltner's book, 'Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life', Molly explores how this powerful emotion can shift our thinking, reduce stress, and deepen our connection to the world around us.
Awe isn't just for grand moments like standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon or hearing a symphony live. It's something you can cultivate every day to improve your well-being. From the beauty of nature to the power of music, awe can be found in the simplest things around us. Molly discusses eight major sources of awe, including moral beauty, collective effervescence, and even epiphanies that change our worldview.
She shares practical tips on how to find awe in your daily life, like stepping outside to admire the sky or listening to a song that gives you chills. This episode is packed with insights that will make you see the world in a whole new light. So, if you're looking to feel more connected, less stressed, and more alive, tune in and discover how awe can transform your life.
