What is the meaning of awe?
What does it mean to be awe-prone?
- Awe is linked to better physical health: Awe-prone people show lower levels of a biomarker (IL-6) that reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease, depression, and autoimmune disease. Time seems to expand as we feel awe and immerse ourselves in the present moment, detached from our normal, mundane concerns.
Where can I find awe-inspiring places online?
- Awe is everywhere online—search Google or YouTube for the top awe-inspiring places or videos. Watch the vast landscapes of our planet in Planet Earth. Nature is a common elicitor of awe, and there’s a reason that scenes from this video are often used to elicit awe in the lab.
What does it mean when you feel awe?
- Awe is the feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world, like looking up at millions of stars in the night sky or marveling at the birth of a child. When people feel awe, they may use other words to describe the experience, such as wonder, amazement, surprise, or transcendence.
