单集简介 ...

Awe?! You can study this? You can, and it turns out it’s really important for our mental health. Dr. Dacher Keltner, the legendary UC Berkeley psychology professor, author, and founding director of the Greater Good Science Center, lent us some time to chat about his research into what makes us feel awe, and how that sense of vastness can make our lives and relationships richer. From spending some time under starry skies, to walking past ancient ruins, to listening to a favorite song, these big and little moments can help us feel smaller in the best way. Also: hop into a mosh pit.  Visit Dr. Keltner’s website Buy his book, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, on Bookshop.org or Amazon Listen to his series, Cities of Awe, on the Science of Happiness podcast A donation went to the Bay Area Freedom Collective More episode sources and links Other episodes you may enjoy: Eudemonology (HAPPINESS), Awesomeology (GRATITUDE FOR LITTLE THINGS), Molecular Neurobiology (BRAIN CHEMICALS), Psychedeliology (HALLUCINOGENS), Museology (MUSEUMS), Fanthropology (FANDOM), FIELD TRIP: I Chase the 2024 Eclipse with Umbraphiles, FIELD TRIP: How to Change Your Life via the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles 400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes Sponsors of Ologies Transcripts and bleeped episodes Become a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month OlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!

  • Oh, look at this.

  • This is a special episode of Ologies I'm very excited about.

  • And it's brought to you by the lovely vacation rental service, Vrbo.

  • And today, this is all about awe, as you have probably noticed from the title.

  • And we're going to talk about exactly what awe is.

  • But you have probably felt it if you've ever stopped in your tracks to go, whoa.

  • And felt connected to something bigger.

  • Especially if you've ever seen something you've never seen before or you've traveled.

  • Travel is one of the easiest ways to really stock up on those awe-filled moments and share it with other people.

  • So we're going to talk about how that works in the brain, actually.

  • And Vrbo, thank you for sponsoring this.

  • They make it easy to bring your people together in one place.

  • So you can actually share those experiences.

  • And they work hard to get everything right before you arrive.

  • And if something does go wrong, VrboCare and 24-7 customer support are there to help make it right.

  • The people on your trip are full of surprises, not your Vrbo.

  • So book your next day on the Vrbo app.

  • I just did, literally.

  • Oh, hey, it's the sidewalk chicken bone your dog yearns for.

  • Allie Ward, this episode is nearly a decade in the making.
