Summary of Transcript:
This YouTube video discusses the concept of happiness, and how it has changed over the years. The speaker explains that in the past, happiness was often associated with individual purpose and pleasure, but now it is more about the quest for meaning. He also explains how economics, social connections, and gratitude contribute to happiness, as well as life expectancy. He concludes by saying that cultivating happiness, such as through gratitude, outdoor walks, giving, and meditation, can lead to an additional 7-10 years of life expectancy, which is comparable to the effects of smoking, drinking vodka, and eating red meat.

#Awe
Have you ever felt a sense of awe? It’s an emotion that can be evoked by the beauty of nature, the kindness of strangers, or the power of art. According to Dacher Keltner, author of Awe: The Transformative Power of Everyday Wonder, it’s an emotion that is essential for our well-being.
Awe is an emotion that can be experienced in many different ways. It can be a feeling of deep admiration, wonder, and appreciation. It can also be a feeling of being overwhelmed by something beautiful or powerful. It’s a feeling that can be experienced in moments of joy and sadness, and it can be a powerful force for change.
Keltner’s research has found that awe has a number of positive benefits for our health and well-being. It can reduce stress, increase creativity, boost our immune system, and even help us live longer. It can also help us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us, and to connect with others in more meaningful ways.
If you’re looking to experience awe more often, Keltner suggests taking time to appreciate the small moments in life. Pay attention to the beauty of nature, take a moment to appreciate a kind gesture, or take a few minutes to reflect on something you’re grateful for. You can also explore new places, take up a new hobby, or try something that challenges you.

When was the last time you felt awe? Perhaps it’s an emotion you notice often, evoked by the trees, clouds, or people around you. Or maybe it’s something you associate with more dramatic, less frequent experiences.
