Recent research shows that feeling awe on a regular basis sharpens our minds and makes us feel more alive. Feeling awe makes us better thinkers.
But what does “awe” actually mean?
Awe is that feeling we get when we encounter something larger than ourselves. Like watching a beautiful sunset.
You know, the stuff that we’re often too distracted to experience.
Does that mean we should all travel to see these beautiful sights?
Not really. I don’t think that’s sustainable. Also, chasing after pleasant experiences is not a good solution to making ourselves feel more alive.
