Dacher Keltner: The Power of Awe and Compassion to Change Your Life

Dacher Keltner: The Power of Awe and Compassion to Change Your Life

In a recent episode of the "Into the Magic Shop" podcast, Dr. Jim Doty and Dacher Keltner, author of "Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life," "The Power Paradox," and most recently, "Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life," discuss the significance of compassion and self-transcendence in society, particularly in affluent areas where the philosophy of altruism is often rejected. Keltner discusses how his studies on economic inequality, power abuses, and structural issues show how they can divide and blind us to our common humanity. Keltner and Dr. Doty discuss how meaning comes from being involved with things that are bigger than yourself. Keltner emphasizes how contemplative traditions are crucial for bringing about greater good at the societal level. He also critiques author Ayn Rand's philosophy of rejecting altruism, which tends to thrive in wealthy areas. Dr. Doty adds that compassion is what will ultimately save humanity and that persuading even a few individuals to promote it worldwide can be incredibly influential. They both agree that even a single act of compassion can create a tsunami of positive change. Tune in to the "Into the Magic Shop" podcast on popular podcast platforms or on the show's website to discover more about the transformative power of compassion and self-transcendent states.
