That’s one of the questions that Dacher Keltner sets out to answer in his book, “Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it can Transform Your Life.” He’s a scientist who studies emotions, but his work is about a lot more than defining them. He wants to help people live the Good Life, and he believes leaning into awe is one of the best ways to do that. Awe, he says, is what compels us to share, to bond and build community. This Christmas Day Dacher Keltner joins us to talk about awe.
