Kids expect beauty all day long. They just expect greatness. They expect today is going to be Christmas again.” – John O’Leary  

 

As kids, we see the world with excitement and believe anything is possible. As we grow older, however, many of us lose that sense of delight. We become jaded and disconnected, no longer eagerly jumping into new experiences, but simply enduring every day. In this episode, Brian interviews John O’Leary about his new book, “In Awe.” John explains how to again tap into our childlike sense of wonder and become more engaged, successful and fulfilled in our lives.

 

YOU WILL LEARN:

• Five senses children innately possess that we’ve lost touch with as we age.
• Inspirational stories that show how to reclaim childlike joy.
• Why seeing through a child’s eyes changes how we interact with the world.
