People I (Mostly) Admire
The Power of Awe and Adrenaline
Awe, described as a powerful force, was found to evoke a different sensation compared to adrenaline. The speaker initially questioned a shift in their response to thrilling experiences, wondering if it was due to aging or the pandemic. However, during a daring wing-walking experience, they discovered a newfound sense of ecstasy, later attributing it to awe rather than just adrenaline. The concept of awe was unfamiliar to the speaker until they read about it in a book. Awe, which can be easily triggered by being in nature, is defined as the feeling of being in the presence of something greater than oneself, and is revealed to be beneficial for mental well-being.
