Bill Leary writes the Rossmoor News column "Engaging Saging" and has written about awe several times in his column. In his presentation titled "The Importance of Awe," Leary will share what he has learned from a scientific study, led by Dacher Keltner. Keltner is a professor of psychology and head of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and is the author of "Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How IT Can Transform Your Life." Leary will discuss what we have learned about how experiencing awe affects us emotionally, mentally, and physically and helps us live longer, happier, and healthier lives. (2024)
