"Awestruck!" - Part 1 - with Beau Lotto, PhD

What is awe? It's not wonder, or surprise, or pleasure — it's a state of mind that Dr. Beau Lotto calls "finding the impossible in the common."  Dr. Lotto is a neuroscientist who specializes in perception; he once actually measured awe in the brains of people watching Cirque du Soleil. Learn where awe originates, why it evolved, and even how military leaders might weaponize it. Plus... why Dr. Lotto says babies are born "useless". https://www.beaulotto.com/ Since this episode was first released in 2021, Dr. Lotto has launched a new project - "Evolvable.Me" "Our interactive AI-powered platform reveals precise, science-backed insights into how you think, relate, and behave – drawn from your responses and real-life conversations."   Try it for free at  https://www.evolvable.me/
