Dr. Dacher Keltner and Dr. Andrew Huberman discuss the science of awe and its relationship to time perception, exploring how shifting visual focus from narrow internal states to broad horizons can quiet the default mode network and foster equanimity through "space-time bridging."

Dr. Dacher Keltner, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a leading expert on the science of emotions and human connection. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast.
