'Awe Is The Emotion Of Self-Transcendence' - Jonathan Haidt

Dacher Keltner has spent over 20 years studying happiness, and he thinks the secret to a good life is 'finding awe'. Awe is a state when we feel deeply connected to something bigger than ourselves, and in the process our sense of self (the idea we have about who we are) disappears, or at the very least shrinks dramatically.

One of the best ways to experience awe is in nature, which Dacher and I discuss in this episode.
