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

So it's a central problem that we grapple with.

And then I love your third part of this equation of emotion science, which is the feeling, the emotion.

Michael Pollan is right.

You know, this new book on consciousness, the conscious feeling of something.

We think we can get to it with words, I don't think so.

You probably wouldn't either, right?

Studying the other species you've studied, right?

It's some weird mixture of everything that's happening in your body.

And ironically, the emotion or the feeling is still one of the uncharted territories of our field.

Why as these complicated motor patterns unfold and words are unfolding and images and memories and visual things that you study, how does that all come together in my feeling of compassion or awe?

And we barely know, you know, we just, we don't know.

I love your reference to chakras.

And, you know, the older I get, you know, I've been doing emotion science for 34 years or five years.

It's good to think about the other traditions.

You know, we wouldn't have thought about the breath, the power of the breath.

uh without the contemplative meditation traditions that you've in part tested and richie davidson and others and lo and behold the breath deep exhalation activates the vagus nerve calms us down that activation of the vagus nerve gives people a sense of warmth in your chest which kind of sounds like the heart chakra and all the speculation around

how your soul is in your heart.

Well, there's a neurophysiological correlate of that.

I love the paintings of Alex Gray, the psychedelic artist.

Like if you want an image of what our neurophysiology is, is it synchronizes in love, it's pretty close or it's interesting, right?
