Brain HealthHow Awe Transforms Your Brain and Strengthens Social Bonds
Dr. Dacher Keltner, UC Berkeley psychology professor, explores the science of awe with Andrew Huberman. They discuss how awe shifts perspective, reduces self-focus, and strengthens social bonds. Key topics include awe walks, collective experiences like music and sports, the role of humor in relationships, and how modern life inhibits awe. Keltner explains practical tools for cultivating awe daily, from space-time bridging meditation to designing environments that inspire wonder. The conversation covers psychedelics' role in awe experiences and their therapeutic potential.
