Does life ever feel too predictable? Boring? Anodyne? Do you ever crave for a sense of adventure, to turn mundane tasks into opportunities for excitement and new experiences?

That’s how author of “Enchantment” and host of “How We Live Now”, Katherine May, actively engages in embracing the beauty and wonder of the mundane. She perceives the world with adventure, the richness of diverse experiences and the importance of embracing rather than taming the natural world.

In this episode, host Simran Jeet Singh speaks with her about the loss of sense of play, the power of attention, the concept of hierophany, and how we can reconnect with a sense of wonder.
