I was like, ah, you know, I like solitude, you know.
But alongside moments of joy and just finding peace is just find little moments where you're connected to people.
I love this new literature on micro social interactions, a little bit of eye contact, saying hi to somebody, going to a farmer's market, just little moments where you're like, I'm part of humanity.
So that's what I teach students, a little bit of joy, find a way to get calm, and then just connect a little and you'll be on your way.
We have worked with high schoolers in really under-resourced high schools, you know, where it's tough and there's not a lot of hope and they're looking at a different kind of job market.
And if they feel a little bit of hope or find a little bit of awe, they enjoy their studies more.
You know, we have worked with veterans who twice the rates of PTSD as the average civilian in the United States.
And little moments of awe, right, reduce PTSD 32%.
We work with healthcare providers, doctors and nurses during COVID.
Chaos, right?
Under-resourced, understaffed.
And we just ask them, like, find one minute right now
of what's wonderful or awesome about life.
And they're in a hospital, fluorescent lights, people are dying.
They're working 14 hours a day.
And they're like, you know, that woman who had a terminal diagnosis was so gracious and grateful to me and gave me a big hug.
And that was remarkable human character, right?
So what this tells us is this stuff is deep in us.
We've lost sight of it.
Our culture is making it hard to get to.
