Advance Praise for Awe

“Twenty years of insight about awe. Whoa! On every continent and in every imaginable religion. Wow. Intensely personal, recognizably collective, and utterly universal, Keltner’s stories and science of awe are inspired. Awe merges us with systems larger than self—nature, music, art, spirit, morality, collectives, life, and death. We are better for Keltner’s account. Read it. Aahhh.”

—Susan T. Fiske, coauthor of Social Cognition: From Brains to Culture and author of Envy Up, Scorn Down: How Status Divides Us

“A researcher who has taught us new ways to think about generosity and cooperation has turned his attention to one of the most understudied emotions of all, Awe. Eye-opening and mind-expanding.”

—Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, author of Mother Nature and Mothers and Others: The Origins of Mutual Understanding

“Our troubling times, our clickbait media, even our own habits of mind, blanket our consciousness with the negative and threatening in life. This book is a counterforce. Powerful, erudite, rooted in brilliant research, but always fascinatingly accessible, it uplifts the wonderful in life. From the beauty of movement in sports to the moral courage of a friend, it’s a guide to how to see and experience the wonder that is always all around us. It balances consciousness. It has been a long time since I’ve read anything as inspiring. I’d say race to read it. You won’t be disappointed.”

—Claude M. Steele, Lucie Stern Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University

“Dacher Keltner has written a deeply personal, scientifically brilliant treatise on an emotion he convinces us we need to experience more often in our daily lives.”

—Richard E. Nisbett, author of Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking
