Awesomeness abounds — The Latest on APN — Jan. 14-20

As we attempt to avoid the wormhole of chatter about Prince Harry's Spare this week — fastest selling nonfiction book ever? Really? — thankfully there's a new book on awe generating significant buzz. Author Dacher Keltner has been making the podcast interview rounds, and it's inspiring us to get outside and explore the awesomeness of mild winter weather. Ice fishing, snow crunching under your feet, and the biggest new moon in 1,337 years. It's pretty easy to find awe out here these days. 

So on your weekend exploits, we encourage you to take your APN pals along for a nice long walk. Look up at the sky, and let that tingle run down your spine. It'll do you good. Happy Lunar New Year to all you rabbits, too!
