Dacher Keltner is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and faculty director of the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. In his new book, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life, Keltner offers a groundbreaking exploration and deeply personal reflection on the elusive emotion of awe. Drawing on fresh research about how awe impacts our brains and bodies, as well as examining its role throughout history, culture, and in his own life during a time of grief, Keltner investigates how embracing awe in our daily lives helps us recognize and appreciate the most human aspects of our nature.

This is a FREE event and open to the public!
