Summary:
"From the first tickle of curiosity to an unexpected shift in how we perceive the world, there isn't a person who hasn't experienced
wonder
, and yet the why and how of this profoundly beneficial
emotion
is only just beginning to be scientifically examined. This inspiring book from thought leader Monica Parker explores the
power
of
wonder
to transform the
way
we
learn
, develop new ideas, drive social
change
, and ultimately become better humans. 'The
Power
of
Wonder
' takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey through psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, and business to share some of the surprising secrets behind the mechanics of
wonder
and guides readers in bringing more of it into their lives. From art and architecture, to love and sex, to sleep and psychedelics, you
will
learn
about the elements and elicitors of
wonder
, and how it can transform our bodies and brains. Whether it's taking a daily '
wonder
walk' or discovering a new absorbing intellectual pursuit, this book shows us how to become more wonderprone and reconnect with a reverence for the world and all the magic in it."--From publisher.
