An awe-inspiring guided journal that invites you, via 52 thought-provoking experiments, to find more wonder and meaning in your every day. A shooting star. An exquisite piece of music. A newborn baby. Witnessing the mysteries of our world inspires feelings of awe, which are good for our mental and physical health. Through 52 accessible experimentsโsuch as joining a meaningful cause, spending time with an animal, traveling somewhere new, and pondering lifeโs unanswerable questionsโthis journal invites you to find weekly pockets of wonder. Record your thoughts, reflect on your experiences, and finish the year feeling inspired, grateful, connected, and content. ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ-๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ : Experiencing awe and reverence offers important perspective that can be hard to come by in our busy digital lives. It also increases feelings of well-being, satisfaction, and meaning. With simple prompts that encourage reflection, this journal makes it easy to seek out and notice the wonderful things that exist all around us. ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ: New research shows that experiencing awe has similar benefits to a mindfulness or gratitude practice. Recent publishing on the topic, including Katherine May's Enchantment and Dacher Keltner's Awe, explores the value of experiencing wonder. This journal adds to the conversation with a light, interactive approach. ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ง๐ฅ๐จ๐๐: Rather than focusing on recording the day's happenings or writing down everyday stressors, this journal encourages you to zoom out of your daily routine. How amazing is it that leaves turn orange every autumn without fail? How incredible that the human body can grow and carry a baby for nine months? How wonderful that Jane Austen wrote so prolifically in secret? How wild that spiders exist? With thought experiments and simple activities that can be done anytime (go somewhere, do something, or simply ponder a big question), Awestruck serves as a reminder of the magnificence in our world. ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐๐ญ: Delivered in a spare and cheerful package, Awestruck is an inspiring companion for self-care enthusiasts and anyone seeking mindfulness, joy, and inner peace. The experiments are stimulating yet easy to doโfrom listening to a stirring piece of music to visiting a place that makes you feel smallโand writing space allows you to jot down thoughts and any learnings that arise. Gift it to mindfulness practitioners, resolution setters, and anyone interested in self-betterment.
