- 1 hour 10 minutesListen To This If Your Life Feels "Meh" (A Simple Science-Backed Fix)
My team is on our first ever retreat this week! I wanted to practice what I preach and give everyone the chance to relax and restore in Arizona, so this week, I hand picked one of my all-time favorite episodes to share with you. If you care about feeling good, about happiness, this episode is gonna change your life—I recorded it over a year ago and I still talk about it weekly. Also, it’ll make you feel good while listening. Enjoy, and see you next week for a fresh new episode! - xo Liz
You've probably heard that you should spend more time in nature, practice gratitude, or meditate—but you may not know that one single emotion underlies the benefits of all of those things. Today, we're talking about awe: what it actually is, why the science says it might be the most important emotion you're not prioritizing, and exactly how to build more of it into your life starting today.
I'm joined by Dr. Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, founder of the Greater Good Science Center, and the world's leading researcher on awe. He's also the scientist behind the emotions in Pixar's Inside Out and Inside Out 2. Over 15 years of research, Dacher has studied awe across 26 countries, gathered over 2,600 stories of awe from around the world, and built a growing body of evidence showing that this one emotion can reduce anxiety, lower inflammation, ease chronic pain, combat loneliness, and even help with PTSD, sometimes more powerfully than pharmaceuticals.
The best part? You don't need a trip to the Grand Canyon to find it. Awe is closer than you think.
🎧 What you'll learn:
• Why three minutes of awe a few times a week can measurably change your physical and mental health
• The surprising sign that tells you you're actually experiencing awe (and how to know it's not just fear or beauty)
• How the eight universal sources of awe can act as a personal compass pointing you toward your life's meaning
• The one mindset shift that lets you find awe without going anywhere new
• Why grief and trauma can actually be gateways to awe, and how to use that to feel better stat
• The unexpected connection between awe and psychedelics (and how to get similar benefits without either)
• How religion is immensely helpful for awe, and how to build a secular version
• The "awe prescription" Dacher recommends based on the latest research
• The micro habit that helped healthcare workers fight depression and burnout during COVID in just one minute a day
