As we inch closer to the end of the year, I find myself reflecting on how I lived the last 300 or so days. Did I do enough or too much of the meaningful work that I love? Have I experienced enough joy? Have I taken care of my heart and mind?
You may remember my Bound + Determined episode a few weeks ago with Terri Trespicio, all about the programming we have around “chasing passion”and why we should ditch the notion.
This week, we take a look at passion vs. curiosity vs. wonder.
For years, Jeffrey Davis has researched, interviewed, and worked with luminaries across cultures and professions to answer the questions:
What if I yearn for more meaning and connection in my life?
What stands in the gap between busyness and a life filled with cherished moments?
Jeffrey has identified a single universal experience that opens us to creative awakening across all walks of life, and it’s called wonder.
LISTEN NOW!
On this week’s episode of Bound + Determined, we discuss:
- Defining and understanding the science of wonder
- How wonder serves writers AND impacts our global communities
- How to keep experimenting in life
- The process of distilling your ideas into book form
- How to practically include wonder in your life
