Re-Enchantment: Wonder As the Antidote to Fear

from Closer Than You Think · host Max Gilbert

This week I'm exploring why so many driven, successful people struggle to feel wonder at ordinary life, and what that has to do with our inability to rest. The same part of us that can't stop working is often protecting a younger part that once found the world magical and learned it wasn't safe to be that open. I share a personal story about reclaiming something I lost as a kid, walk through a deeper version of last week's exercise for meeting that exiled part of yourself, and offer two simple practices you can try with your family this Shabbat to start seeing the miraculous in the everyday.
