Macrodosing Awe with Sean Goldy, PhD

About this episode

Sean Goldy, PhD discusses the concept of awe and its significance in both psychedelic experiences and everyday life.

How often do you feel amazed—or experience a sense of wonder? When was the last time you looked up at a tree, even in an ordinary park, and felt awe? Sean Goldy, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Psychedelics and Consciousness Research, takes us on a tour through his work on awe. We discuss the role it plays in psychedelic experiences—but also move beyond psychedelics to explore something even more fundamental to being human, and far more easily accessible. Like the show?
