Huberman Lab · Cultivating Awe & Emotional Connection in Daily Life | Dr. Dacher Keltner · 6 Apr 2026 podcast

So it's a controversial issue.

Chimps show, and Frans de Waal alerted me to this, who recently passed away and I just wanna pay reverence to him or homage to him, the great primatologist.

So he said, you gotta look at Jane Goodall and writing about chimps and the waterfall display they show when they are around vast nature.

They sit quietly like around rivers, like that waterfall in Berkeley.

They look at things.

They get goosebumps.

They touch things like we would out in nature.

They rock.

And Jane Goodall said, why wouldn't they feel awe?

or the beginnings of spirituality, which is really being amazed at things outside of the self.

So with awe, we have a sense of self, interception and the like, and then we connect to vast things out there.

And that's what our research documented as kind of a central mechanism of awe or transformation is like,

when you're at Yosemite or when you are standing next to that T-Rex skeleton or when you've thought about the passage of time that happens with life, right?

And there are new meditations around that.

You're like, wow, I am part of something vast.

I'm part of evolution.

I'm part of nature.

I'm part of an ecosystem.

And it changes your whole mind, right?

It changes the neurophysiology of the mind.
