Join the 21-Day New Year, New You Challenge (starting January 6, 2025):
https://go.silveredgefitness.com/new-year-new-you-25
The intro to the book The Power of Awe starts with a quote from Albert Einstein, and it reads:
âThere are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.â
So my question to you is simple â are you living as if everything is a miracle? Do you routinely pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe? I think itâs safe to say most of us could use a little help in the awe and wonder department. If this sounds like you stick around, we have a fantastic episode that just might radically change your life for the better!
My guest today is Jake Eagle. Jake is a psychotherapist, mindfulness instructor, and co-author of the new book titled THE POWER OF AWE: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & PurposeâIn Less Than 1 Minute Per Day. Join us today as Jake helps us micro dose mindfulness and harness the power of awe to make us healthier, happier humans.
