About Awed

Awed is a daily ritual designed to help you experience awe in your everyday life.

What is Awe?

Based on research by psychologist Dacher Keltner in his book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, awe is a powerful emotion that makes us feel part of something larger than ourselves.

The Eight Categories of Awe

  • Moral Beauty - Witnessing acts of courage, kindness, and extraordinary strength
  • Collective Effervescence - Shared energy in group activities
  • Nature - The vastness of the natural world
  • Music - Melodies that stir deep emotions
  • Visual Design - Human creativity in art and architecture
  • Spirituality & Religion - Mystical connection and oneness
  • Life & Death - Witnessing birth or contemplating mortality
  • Epiphany - Sudden insights that shift understanding

Our Mission

In a world of algorithm-driven social media and infinite scrolling, Awed offers something different: a finite, intentional practice. One card per day. Reflect. Collect.

We're building a community of people who pause, reflect, and reconnect with wonder.
