A Sense of Wonder

If we look around, many things seem senseless.
Where do we come from? Why are we here? What is the purpose of everything we do? Where will it all end?


These are the questions ancient philosophers asked, and which Massimo Polidoro had the privilege of discussing with a person of extraordinary intellect like Piero Angela. From their conversations, and a friendship that spanned over thirty years, The Wonder of Everything, Piero Angela’s final book, was born.

What does this great man leave us, and what are the most important lessons he can teach? Many, as Massimo Polidoro will share with us, starting with the idea that every aspect of life, every topic, can—and must—be approached with the rationality characteristic of the scientific method. Yet, at the same time, never losing curiosity, humility, passion, and a sense of wonder.
Only in this way can we truly understand and grow.
