Description
What if awe is more than a feeling?
In this TEDMED Conversation, psychologist Jennifer Stellar joins Jon Ellenthal to explore how awe, compassion, and wonder may shape the body. Drawing from emerging research, Jennifer examines how emotional experiences can influence stress, inflammation, connection, and well-being.
Together, they ask what it would mean to treat awe not as a rare moment, but as a biological force we can better understand, cultivate, and design for in everyday life.
Watch to explore why wonder may be one of health’s most overlooked ingredients.
