Dr. Michael Amster | How AWE and micro-dosing mindfulness can help manage burnout and exhaustion
In this episode, I chat with Michael Amster, the co-author of one of my fave new books, The Power of Awe.
Michael Amster is a physician and faculty member of the Touro school of medicine. With twenty years of experience as a pain management specialist, he is currently the founding director of the pain management department at Santa Cruz community health. He’s been a student of meditation for over thirty years, as well as a certified yoga teacher and meditation teacher. He splits his time between clinical work, research on awe, teaching mindfulness, and leading awe-inspiring retreats around the world.
In this fabulous conversation, we chat about his new book and how finding, embracing, and using A.W.E can help anyone tackle burnout and exhaustion from daily life.
A.W.E. stands for Attention, Wait, Exhale and Expand, and the method is a five- to fifteen-second, three-step process for “micro-dosing mindfulness.”
