Our good friend Jason Silva, the host of National Geographic Channel’s Brain Games, has another mind-expanding video for us to imbibe. This one is entitled “Awe,” and it is about exactly that. What causes our brain to be astounded? What do we have to do to shake up our day-to-day mental inertia? Thinking is a pretty helpful tool for that. This video is part of a new series called “Shots of Awe,” wherein Jason takes us on a brain journey as part of Discovery Digital’s Test Tube. He’s a pretty smart dude, we think you’ll agree.
