Book Synopsis

Awe is a profound emotional response that can significantly impact our well-being and perception of the world. Spiritual poets, mystics, and now scientists agree: experiences of awe are good for us. This study guide and journal invites the reader to learn through the author's own stories woven with the latest research and quotes from poets, mystics, and researchers. There are journal prompts to help readers integrate their own thoughts and experiences. And each chapter offers ideas for simple "awe practices" that relate to the elements for curating a life of spiritual depth: beauty, wonder, meaning, curiosity, delight, connection, and self-giving. Good for individuals and small groups. Appendix includes ideas for leaders of communities to incorporate a "Year of Awe" with monthly events intended to increase awe.
