Description

Here’s a question – and a really important one that you probably haven’t asked yourself: “When is the last time I felt a sense of WONDER?”

That thrilling feeling that you’re witnessing something magical. Something surprising.

Something phenomenal.

Maybe it’s been awhile. Maybe you can’t even remember when you last felt that way. Why?

Do you think you’ve figured things out? Do you cast a cynical eye on the state of the world? Have you lost the ability to open up your mind and heart?
That’s a huge loss according to philosopher Wendy O’Brien.
And that’s because wonder is connected to the best part of being human.
Philosopher Wendy O’Brien was worried about that state of wonder in the world. And she began an incredible exploration called The Wonder Project. I hope you join us for this amazing, wonder-filled conversation! I loved it!!
