Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder By Dacher Keltner (2023)

This book makes a simple but powerful claim: awe heals. Through science and storytelling, Keltner shows how moments of wonder, whether found in nature, music, silence or courage, can quiet the ego and ease stress. Awe isn’t meant to be rare; he argues it should be a daily practice. It boosts creativity, empathy, resilience and even physical health. His message is clear: awe isn’t a luxury. It’s a tool every leader and every human should use for connection, meaning and growth.
