And so I think that's a perfect example of one of the reasons why we love to have these wonder experiences together, why people go to church as a group, why people like to enjoy music and gigs as a group, because that sense of wonder, that sense of awe, that sense of exploration and discovery can be shared. And it has an impact then that is greater than the sum of its parts.

I think that I can appreciate why people would think that and even the original folks who were studying this. So if we go back to even Maslow, his idea of a peak experience is really a wonder experience. And Maslow believed that peak experiences were rare and fleeting. But towards the end of his life, he believed that in fact, we could find them quite frequently.

Some of the all researchers also in the beginning believed that awe was always only rare and fleeting, but now they've found that those rare and fleeting moments can have the same benefit as these quotidian moments because it almost becomes aggregated. It's these little moments that

add to each other and can still have the same impact and so again it's it's about shifting the lens and saying it doesn't only have to be that if that's your choice it can be but what i want to encourage people to do is really instead to have a mindset in which we can find it anywhere

It is absolutely true. It's true for a couple of different reasons. First, one of the key components of wonder being curiosity. We are naturally less curious as we age. This is simply, again, because we think that we've discovered everything there is to discover. But of course, that's erroneous. There's so many things we can discover. But curiosity is a bit like a muscle.

The more that we practice it, the more then that we will be able to experience curiosity. So if we can hone that sort of curiosity muscle, then we will find more things to feel a sense of wonder about. But we are dealing with a more calcified brain. We're dealing with neural pathways that are very set.

And we're dealing with more schema, building blocks that have decided, well, I know everything there is to know about the world. But I think in that there's a little bit of hubris as well, you know, a little bit of ego to say, well, I've seen it all. But of course, if we, again, approach things with the eyes of a child, we can find those elements to feel a sense of wonder about.

But there's no question that it is harder than it is for children. And that's one of the reasons why I believe we feel such a sense of wonder watching children experience those things for the first time. It's why we get so much joy watching babies and children, you know, have those experiences. Yeah.
