We have partnered with UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center to provide you with these scientific facts. Click on an item below to expand and reveal more.

Wonder broadens our horizons

Psychologists define awe as the feeling we get when we come across something so strikingly vast in number, scope, or complexity that it alters the way we understand the world.

Wonder is associated with better health

Based on their physiological makeup, people who experience feelings of wonder and wonder seem to be at lower risk for depression, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Wonder makes us feel less rushed

When we’re in the presence of something tremendous—like a whale or a waterfall—we feel like we have more time and are less impatient, which makes us more willing to volunteer our time to help others.

Wonder makes us happier

When people experience a sense of wonder, they report feeling more satisfied with their lives.

Wonder makes us feel like we’re part of something bigger than the self

When we’re in the presence of something wonder-inspiring, we put less emphasis on our ego and feel connected to a greater whole.

Wonder increases kindness

After looking up at an impressive eucalyptus grove, people were more helpful to someone in need and felt less entitled to a reward.
