Abstract in brief
- The article explores how experiences that evoke awe—such as being in nature, spiritual contemplation, music, collective movement, or using psychedelics—can positively impact mental and physical health by engaging five key processes: neurophysiological shifts, reduced focus on the self, increased prosocial behavior, greater social connection, and a stronger sense of meaning.
- It reviews recent scientific research on awe, highlighting its measurable effects on well-being despite being an emotion often considered difficult to define or quantify.
- The authors propose that these awe-inspiring experiences enhance overall health by promoting psychological resilience, social bonds, and a deeper sense of purpose.]
