Awe an important emotion that has been shown to make us kinder and improve our empathy, and awe can help us to better tap into creativity. As Florence Williams shares, we don't necessarily need epic sunsets or grand vistas to get these benefits. A practice of microdosing awe helps us to access this important state more regularly.

On the last episode of Creative Fuel, "How Do We Spend Time Alone?" we discussed how, in solitude (and in groups) we can open ourselves up to awe -- which ultimately benefits our creative practice. And in this Creative Dose, author Florence Williams walks us through how we can tap into its power in our daily lives.

Each episode of Creative Fuel starts with one question. In the course of researching, writing, and talking with our guests, we obviously come up with many more questions along the way. They leave us with a lot to ponder, and there are many things we don't have the space to include in our full episodes. Which is where these little doses of creativity come in.
