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

And that's the challenge of the science that I'm part of is exactly that.

It's like there are all these layers of meaning and representation.

And, you know, and we try to figure out true moments of awe with all of our measures.

And it is this like it's all coming together as a package that tells us it's happened.

A ton of stuff, yeah.

I now have a new phrase I can use.

Every show was unique.

That was the best entrance into that question I've ever encountered.

You know, it's amazing, Andrew.

You know, I grew up for three years, formative years in Laurel Canyon, 68 to 70.

And then we moved to the foothills of the Sierras in Northern California.

And it was peak Laurel Canyon, Joni Mitchell and the Birds and the Beach Boys.

Jealous.

Envious in a positive way.

When my brother passed away, and he was my brother of all, you know, 14 months younger, and I was in this reflective period, I started reading a lot about Laurel Canyon.

And they made the same point, which is kind of things shifted after we, you know, in the early 70s, and the historian said it's cocaine, that it moved from, you know,

marijuana and mushrooms and psychedelics a bit, but really, you know, people playing music, you know, Joni Mitchell or Graham Nash or whomever it is, and then suddenly cocaine comes and the whole spirit changed.

Yeah, I think the great enemy of awe is meanness, is what Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was one of our great writers of awe,

He has this moment out in nature, cold day in Massachusetts, sees this forest and he's like standing on the bare ground, my head bathed by there and uplifted into infinite space.

And there's that uplift that you described earlier of awe.
