Awe is big these days. The Los Angeles Times article "Feeling drained? Here’s how to rediscover your childlike wonder" by Julia Carmel summarizes half a dozen good ways to shrink self and expand the universe, with many citations to Dachel Keltner's book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life:

• Look for awe in the mundane — attend to the "eight wonders of life":
  • moral beauty (witnessing the virtue of others)
  • collective effervescence (often experienced in large groups like those at weddings, rallies or sporting events)
  • nature
  • music
  • visual design (beautiful buildings, paintings and the like)
  • spiritual and religious experiences
  • life and death
  • epiphanies
• Don't forget to appreciate wonder in unsurprising places
• Allow yourself to be more playful
• Fill your life with people who expand your universe
• Slow down to appreciate things you take for granted
• Create new daily rituals, like "awe walks"

... good suggestions, with some similarities to Meik Weiking's The Art of Making Memories ... and to comments by Ralph Waldo Emerson
