The Mel Robbins Podcast · Feeling Lost or Behind in Life? The #1 Happiness Expert Explains How to Find Your Purpose · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

All right, close your eyes.

Final awe prompt in our awe experiment here on the Mel Robbins Show.

You know, we have all these incredible receptors in our hands that help us understand what things are through touch.

Just sort of move your hand over the flowers and just touch.

And what do they remind you of?

What's the touch feel like to you?

All right, so it's just been a couple of minutes and what we've done are three different sensory accesses, if you will, to awe, which is scent and vision and then tactile contact.

Nature is one of the most powerful sources of awe around the world, no matter where you are, just trees and rivers and sounds and birdsong and skies and flowers and the natural world, mountains, et cetera.

And I think that the key and what we do in all of our research is like pause,

put things away, calm down, and then take in this whole miracle in some sense of the small intricacy of the design, the vastness, and then where does your mind go as you appreciate it?

So as you look at the bouquet now, what comes to mind?

Yeah.

And that's the lesson of all, right?

Is there are these incredible systems that we're not aware of.

And once you listen to a piece of music and then you...

take the time just to think about where it came from and what it means, suddenly it becomes richer.

You know, for me, because I've studied so much emotional behavior and expression in the face and the voice, if I just slow down and look at all the ways in which people are cooperating with each other on a daily basis, on a street corner, at a daycare center, you know, on a university campus, it just almost makes me cry.

And it's the same thing.

You're seeing the miracle that is always there.

And that's what awe is.
