Then something shifts. Adults lose touch with the wonder they possessed at birth. Munson identifies this loss as a crisis that affects individuals and civilization alike. She argues that wonder drives survival and growth. The book presents teaching stories and practical guidance. Munson shows readers how to reconnect with their authentic voice.
