Welcome to Litsy!

This was a tiny book club pick and while I thought it was a little too personal in some areas, it had a good amount of science in it as well and I was able to add to my knowledge base which I always appreciate.
This book looks at many different kinds of awe and its affect on human psychology and life. I wish there was more hard science in it.
3/5 stars read for a good starter on how awe can shape and improve one‘s life
