An article in the Utne Reader this week said, “According to a study by Harvard psychology students, experiencing a sense of awe can offset stress, sleep disorders, diminished satisfaction with life, and other adverse effects that often accompany the feeling of having too much to do and not enough time.”

Well, sign me up for some awe, then, baby.

In this video, filmmaker Jason Silva elicits the awe that is so vital to the human experience. Yes, he’s a little too breathless, but forgive him; he’s young. And the pictures are mindblowing.
