The universe is unimaginably vast, yet every atom in your body was forged in the hearts of ancient stars. In this episode of Beyond the Books, we explore one of Carl Sagan's greatest insights from Cosmos: that understanding our place in the universe doesn't make life meaningless—it makes it extraordinary.

Through story and reflection, discover how humility, curiosity, and scientific wonder can change the way you see yourself, other people, and the world around you.

Inspired by: Cosmos by Carl Sagan
