Raising Awe-Seekers

What if helping children boost their mental and emotional well-being, strengthen their social ties, and support their curiosity and internal motivation were as simple as rediscovering awe?

In this book structured around seven of the most common sources of awe identified by Dacher Keltner and other awe researchers, Farmer Kris breaks down the science of awe, connecting the research to what we know about how kids learn and grow and anchoring it with four of her personal parenting tenets that dovetail with awe-seeking.
