英文简介:
“Read this book to connect with your highest self.
” –Susan Cain, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and Quiet “We need more awe in our lives, and Dacher Keltner has written the definitive book on where to find it.
” –Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again “Awe is awesome in both senses: a superb analysis of an emotion that is strongly felt but poorly understood, with a showcase of examples that remind us of what is worthy of our awe.
” –Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and Rationality From a foremost expert on the science of emotions and consultant to Pixar’s Inside Out, a groundbreaking and essential exploration into the history, science, and greater understanding of awe Awe is mysterious.
How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? Up until fifteen years ago, there was no science of awe, the feeling we experience when we encounter vast mysteries that transcend our understanding of the world.
Scientists were studying emotions like fear and disgust, emotions that seemed essential to human survival.
Revolutionary thinking, though, has brought into focus how, through the span of evolution, we’ve met our most basic needs socially.
We’ve survived thanks to our capacities to cooperate, form communities, and create culture that strengthens our sense of shared identity–actions that are sparked and spurred by awe.
In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive emotion.
Revealing new research into how awe transforms our brains and bodies, alongside an examination of awe across history, culture, and within his own life during a period of grief, Keltner shows us how cultivating awe in our everyday life leads us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature.
And during a moment in which our world feels more divided than ever before, and more imperiled by crises of different kinds, we are greatly in need of awe.
If we open our minds, it is awe that sharpens our reasoning and orients us toward big ideas and new insights, that cools our immune system’s inflammation response and strengthens our bodies.
It is awe that activates our inclination to share and create strong networks, to take actions that are good for the natural and social world around us.
It is awe that transforms who we are, that inspires the creation of art, music, and religion.
At turns radical and profound, brimming with enlightening and practical insights, Awe is our field guide, from not only one of the leading voices on the subject but a fellow seeker of awe in his own right, for how to place awe as a vital force within our lives.
中文简介:
“读这本书与你最高的自我联系。
” ——苏珊·凯恩，《苦乐参半与安静》一书的纽约时报畅销书作家——亚当·格兰特，#1 纽约时报畅销书《再想一想》作者我们的敬畏。
” ——史蒂文·平克，哈佛大学约翰斯通心理学教授，《心智如何运作》和《理性》一书的作者更多的理解敬畏 敬畏是神秘的。
我们如何开始量化看到大峡谷时的鸡皮疙瘩，或者第一次看到孩子走路时的惊奇？你如何用语言来表达站在人群中齐声歌唱时的集体欢欣鼓舞，或者你在凝视数百年历史的艺术作品时感受到的惊奇？直到十五年前，还没有敬畏科学，当我们遇到超越我们对世界的理解的巨大奥秘时，我们会体验到这种感觉。
科学家们正在研究恐惧和厌恶等情绪，这些情绪似乎对人类生存至关重要。
然而，革命性的思想让人们注意到，在整个进化过程中，我们是如何满足最基本的社会需求的。
我们之所以能够生存下来，是因为我们有能力合作、组建社区和创造文化来加强我们的共同认同感——这些行为是由敬畏激发和激励的。
在敬畏中，Dacher Keltner 对这种难以捉摸的情感进行了激进的调查和深刻的个人探究。
Keltner 揭示了关于敬畏如何改变我们的大脑和身体的新研究，同时审视了历史、文化和他自己在悲伤时期的生活中的敬畏，向我们展示了在日常生活中培养敬畏如何让我们欣赏最重要的东西我们人性中的人道。
在我们的世界感到比以往任何时候都更加分裂，更加受到各种危机威胁的时刻，我们非常需要敬畏之心。
如果我们敞开心扉，敬畏会增强我们的推理能力，引导我们走向伟大的想法和新的见解，它会冷却我们免疫系统的炎症反应并增强我们的身体。
敬畏激发了我们分享和建立强大网络的倾向，并采取对我们周围的自然和社会世界有益的行动。
敬畏改变了我们，激发了艺术、音乐和宗教的创作。
时而激进时而深刻，充满启发性和实用性的见解，敬畏是我们的实地指南，不仅来自该主题的主要声音之一，而且他本身也是敬畏的寻求者，如何将敬畏视为一种生命力在我们的生活中。
