From the book:

In the Broadway play The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, based on Jane Wagner’s book of the same name, Lily Tomlin plays the character of Trudy the bag lady. At one point in the play, she is awed by a night sky filled with stars and declares that each day, henceforth, she is going to do “awe-robics.”

If I had to choose one word to describe this book, it would be Trudy the bag lady’s made-up word―awe-robics. I say that because The Awe Factor will help you strengthen your awe muscles.

Like having a personal trainer, this book will broaden your view of awe with inspiring examples of awe-moments from my own and other people’s lives. Like regular exercise, it will also discuss the benefits you can derive from it. And finally, like a gym schedule, it will give you suggestions for how to incorporate awe exercises into your daily routine.

So, put on your gym clothes and let’s begin.
