Motivational fix: Shots of Awe

Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey has proposed that our ability to awe was biologically selected for by evolution because it imbues our lives with sense of cosmic significance that has resulted in a species that works harder not just to survive but to flourish and thrive.

So I've been subscribed and following this YouTube channel /shotsofawe for some time now but have realised that I haven't shared it on the blog yet. It is a Youtube channel that releases a short sub 5 minute video once a week (Tuesday) that aims to be the espresso of motivation and inspiration for you. Hosted and performed by Jason Silva, he goes on each week to provide philosophical and technological themed provocative food for thought in an effort to stimulate your deeper thought and inspire you. 

I don't think I need to say much more. The video above is one of my favourite episodes and is a good taste of what to expect. Watch the video above and if you like it, subscribe to their YouTube channel - it's well worth your time.
