Awestruck
by Heidi Wachter, Experience Life Magazine, December 2015
Heidi Wachter, staff writer of Experience Life magazine, writes a timely article on awe and leads readers to "discover how the feeling of awe can make us humbler, kinder, and more altruistic."
In her article Heidi conducts a Q&A with Kirk Schneider, PhD on "Becoming Awed." She asks Kirk some specific questions on the positive impact of awe, on how we "tap into awe-based consciousness," and how we can cultivate more awe in our life.

"There is a reason that many of the most twisted and destructive people on this planet are not seen as “mental patients.” They tend to be ordinary or even celebrated individuals—and their brains are as “normal” as the rest of us. Does this not tell us something glaring about the inadequacy of our current diagnostic system, as well as the culture out of which it arises? We have no language for the malady that both supersedes and in many cases fuels the diagnostic categories we conventionally term psychiatric illnesses, and our reduction of them to brain abnormalities almost entirely blinds us to their deeper cause. This cause is overridingly environmental and the product not of sickness but of unaddressed, unacknowledged fear—which leads individuals and societies to become rigid, narrow, and destructive."Read the full story on Awakening to Awe at PsychologyToday.
