Author: Pearsall, Paul

"Feeling suddenly elevated to the limits of indescribable delight, yet teetering on the edge of fear, we experience our rarest, most powerful, and least understood emotion: awe. It's an overwhelming and life-altering blend of fright and fascination that leaves us in a state of puzzled apprehension and appreciative perplexed wonder."- from the book. Lyrical, eye-opening, and highly perceptive, this is the first book to explore the enigmatic emotion of awe, based on the only known study of its connection to the meaning of life. 288 pp. October.
