The Psychology of Wonder

"Arguably one of the most significant contributions of psychology is that our understanding of ourselves is more defined by what we believe in our heads than by the actual external world that we experience.  If you imagine you are the center of the universe, then you experience yourself as a different person than one who imagines they live on a speck of dust.  However, even better, if you can imagine living in different kinds of universes, then who you are becomes a fantastic landscape of possibilities."
