These chills rushing up your back of your spine.
You know you feel awe when you feel sort of quiet, like, God, I can't put words to this.
You know you're feeling awe when yourself is sort of small.
You're like, God, I just feel...
Like I'm a small part of everything.
And then you feel awe when the words arise.
Oh, I'm feeling awe or astonished or filled with wonder.
So when you put that whole package together of tears and goosebumps and warmth in the chest, which is the vagus nerve and words and a sense of self and quiet, and then the behavioral stuff, the voice, then you are pretty certain I had an awe experience.
Yeah.
We've done a lot of science on awe, and I feel really proud of that.
And then I've taught awe a lot and then, you know, promoted in healthcare and then writing this book.
There are certain things that just emerge when you think about something for 10 years.
And I had originally thought early in this work, say 2010,
That awe was like once in a lifetime, couple times in a lifetime.
I remember when I first met the Dalai Lama and he gave me this big hug, I was just like crying and goosebumps.
And I'm like, ah, this is awe, you know?
And I think most people would have experiences that they could cite like that.
But our data started to say that it's around us.
And when we gathered narratives of awe,
from 26 countries and we just spent years reading these stories, there was this everyday component, just like walking in a park and seeing leaves fall off a tree and passing through a neighborhood and just watching kids play and just this everyday stuff.
