Raising Awe-Seekers: How the Science of Wonder Helps Our Kids Thrive (Free Spirit Parenting�)

Seriously loved, loved, loved this book.
Although parenting is implicit in the title, I highly recommend it also to non-parents like me, because awe truly is one of the most important human experiences there is. This book did a beautiful job of exploring what kinds of awe we can tap into as individuals or families and what impact they have on our well-being, whether it be emotional, mental, or even physical.
Perhaps you, like me, can readily name nature, the universe, and perhaps music and art, as sources of awe. This book goes a little further into other parts of life and humanity that can elicit awe in us, things that I hadn't necessarily thought about but that really resonated with me.
I was so reflective and enjoyably focused while reading this book that it almost came as a shock to me when it was finished. It would be worth revisiting - it's a beautiful subject to spend some time with.
Thanks to NetGalley and Free Spirit Publishing for this advance review copy. This title publishes May 27, 2025, and I hope you put it on your TBR for a dose of truly inspiring reading!
