The "Happy Life" Scientist: How To FINAL...

About this episode

When was the last time something took your breath away, or left you speechless? Awe is something that is hard to put into words and understand for yourself, let alone scientifically examine. However this is exactly what Dr Dacher Keltner has dedicated his career to.

As a psychology professor Dr Dacher is dedicated to the study of emotions and happiness, in his groundbreaking research he believes that awe, the feeling when you see something beyond your understanding, can have huge impacts on both your brain and body.

In this eye opening conversation Dacher discusses just what it means to live a good life, our need for connection, and his personally journey from tragedy and despair to finding and spreading the awe of everyday life.
