Raleigh, NC – Awe, Science, and Meaningful Well-Being
August 29 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm EDT
Recent research into the experience of awe reveals that awe makes us feel small but also deeply connected. This in turn makes us better people, with greater life happiness, generosity, and purpose (eudaemonia). JD Stillwater’s engaging multimedia presentation allows participants to experience awe as we explore this uniquely human emotion. With help from some truly awesome videos, we’ll explore what’s known about awe’s positive effects on our bodies and minds, how science can help us experience awe, the sibling rivalry between awe and horror, and the use (and mis-use) of awe in education, politics, and war.
Public event.
