Today we have a really fascinating conversation with Monica Parker, Author of the new book:  The Power of Wonder: The Extraordinary Emotion That Will Change the Way You Live, Learn, and Lead​.”  Monica  is a behavior nerd and founder of HATCH, a world-renowned consultant agency whose corporate clients include Google, Lego, and other Fortune 500 companies. Parker has been an author, speaker, designer, CEO, activist, clown, opera singer. But it was her early career as a homicide investigator defending death row that solidified a deeply profound respect for the power of wonder. There she observed the implications of a life devoid of nature, music, the vastness of the sky, the feel of the wind on your face – the things that bring one wonder.

This learning has been a center point for her work since and in The Power of Wonder, she takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey through psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, and business to share some of the surprising secrets behind the mechanics of wonder and guides readers in bringing more of it into their lives. Parker’s goal is to ignite the wonder-prone part of all us …. And maybe that offer a moment to reconnect and inspire as only moments of wonder can. We have a really detailed conversation with tangible tips on how to bring more wonder into all of our lives. Enjoy the episode!
