About this listen

 Florence learns about the new heady Science of Awe from Dacher Keltner, psychologist and director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley. She takes a lesson in awe and then, duly armed, she heads out into the wild - solo - but under the guidance of adventure therapist Aleya Littleton. Littleton brings along equipment to test before and after heart rate variability, a measure of real-time stress response. Florence wants to see if she and some other women can cultivate awe - this understudied and positive emotion - for resilience and emotional balance - skills we all need for the future.©2018 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2018 Audible Originals, LLC Heartfelt
