Experience designer, author and founder of the College of Extraordinary Experiences, Paul Bulencea, set me the seemingly simple challenge of taking 20 minutes out of my day to look at a bouquet of flowers in a journey to understand that nature is the greatest experience designer of them all and that we can create moments of awe for ourselves everyday, if we so choose. We talk about being a transient experience junkie, post ecstatic stress, integration after experience, the elusive quest for transformation and Paul’s journey to doing less and finding more. Sometimes the best experience design is no design at all.  “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust Paul’s TEDx: The Global State of Awe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEsj3XVHoQY The College of Extraordinary Experiences: www.extraordinary.college
