Listeners, have you ever experienced a moment of transcendent awe? Perhaps walking in nature inspires heart-opening beauty that takes your breath away, or being in the presence of a beloved friend or witnessing the birth of a baby. How do you feel during and after these moments? Do they only happen when you’re alone, or do you experience awe among friends and even strangers at a concert or a sports event? Professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, Dacher Keltner, joins me to discuss his fascinating book, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life. Why has awe been essential to our human existence from the beginning of time? Can an experience of awe contribute to our health and well being? How can we experience more awe in our daily lives? Listen and be surprisingly inspired. www.dacherkeltner.com and greatergood.berkeley.edu

Listen and be transported to the excitement, cafes, and art of the bohemian Left Bank of 1920’s Paris with author Kerri Maher who literally embodies the spirit and mind of courageous bookseller Sylvia Beach.
