Awe: The Transformative Power of Everyday Wonder by Dacher Keltner
4.0
It's a very well-written, interesting and indeed inspiring book.
I just wish the author had spent more time (spoiler alert!)
expanding on his "epiphany" that the experience of awe is in some way related to the realisation of the power of systems thinking, or at least understanding that we are merely parts of (lots of different) systems. I think I get it, but I could do with some more help to ensure I really understand his proposal. I will have to spend more time getting to the bottom of this, and I guess that means the book is thought-provoking. I can ask for no more than that.
