Awe: The Delights and Dangers of Our Eleventh Emotion
This book is filled with proof and justification using philosophy, religion, politics, sociology, neuroscience, mythology, and psychology, that awe is, indeed, a primary emotion that we do not know enough about, and thus, do not know how to experience to its fullest potential.

• Is awe a message from a higher power that enlightens us about “what it all means” or is it simply a physiological response that comes and goes?
• What do our leaders know about awe that enables them to use it against us?
• How do religion and politics and even the current media trends depend on awe and its emotional impact on us?
• Can awe be a healthy or hurtful emotion, and what happens when awe falls into the wrong hands?

Just as Eckhart Tolle delved into the mystery of living in the moment in The Power of Now, Dr. Pearsall teaches that “the moment” – whether tragic or triumphant - is only worth living “in” if we are willing and able to be in awe of it. Click here to read a testimonial about this book.
