Self-transcendency can work for anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Just get beyond yourself, whether it's loving other people, whether it's being selfless, whether it's compassion, whether it's noticing beauty and allowing it to overwhelm you.

All those things get you beyond yourself.

and wonder is a place where you go beyond yourself.

Yeah.

So we have a little exercise called put on your wonder glasses.

So put on your wonder glasses.

First of all, you know, if you can't beat it, join it.

So we recognize that we're transactionally minded.

And so we take a situation and, you know, might be a little challenging here.

You know, you take a moment and you just take a look around your situation, take a look around your room, whether you're outside, you're inside, you're walking the dog.

And you take a quick look with your normal glasses on.

And the first thing you'll notice is what the transactional brain is going to be looking for.

Like, oh, okay, they're using a certain kind of soundproofing.

The blue lights, that's kind of interesting.

And I see what's going on.

And probably what will happen is you'll immediately come up with a to-do list.

Like, oh, I've got to get one of those blue lights.

That's a better mic holder than I've got.

And I wonder if that plant deserves to be watered.
