The power of wonder : the extraordinary emotion that will change the way you live, learn, and lead / Monica C. Parker.
"The Power of Wonder takes readers on a multidisciplinary journey through psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, literature, and business to share some of the surprising secrets behind the mechanics of wonder and guides readers in bringing more of it into their lives. Readers will learn about the components and elicitors of wonder, and how it can transform our bodies and brains. From taking a daily "awe walk" to discovering a new and all-consuming interest in something you'd never given much thought to before, this book shows readers how to become more wonder-prone and reconnect with a reverence for the world and all the fascinating people in it." --Provided by publisher.
