Healthier breaks.
We all need breaks during the workday. But most people don’t make the most of break time: research shows that 97% of employees scroll social media during breaks, which leads to emotional exhaustion. The Humane Space app helps your team take healthier breaks and return to work more focused and productive.

About the Humane Space
The Humane Space is an app for curious minds to learn, discover new perspectives, and make space for wonder in everyday life. Through short daily discoveries, guided practices, and immersive experiences, you can explore fascinating ideas, spark creativity, deepen self-awareness, and find moments of calm.
The Humane Space is an app for curious minds to learn, discover new perspectives, and make space for wonder in everyday life. Through short daily discoveries, guided practices, and immersive experiences, you can explore fascinating ideas, spark creativity, deepen self-awareness, and find moments of calm.
Lifelong learning is a form of voluntary, self-motivated education that typically occurs outside a formal educational institution. According to Procedia, a social and behavioral science journal, lifelong learning “not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship and individual development, but also increases competitiveness and employability.” Research suggests that lifelong learning can keep our brains healthy and increase our sense of fulfillment and self-esteem. Read more about the benefits of lifelong learning in the blog.
The Humane Space offers thousands of discoveries across art, science, nature, history, philosophy, and more. Learn about fascinating ideas through short reads and audio experiences, take an imaginative Mind Journey®, reconnect with your surroundings through an Awe Walk, or unwind with calming Soundscapes. You can also go deeper with Curiosity in Practice, guided experiences developed with experts that invite you to put curiosity into action in everyday life.
Curiosity is an often overlooked key to greater fulfillment in life. It’s correlated with higher levels of positive emotions, lower levels of anxiety, and greater psychological well-being. Of the 24 character strengths measured by the Via Institute On Character, curiosity was one of the most strongly linked to life satisfaction, work satisfaction, living a pleasurable life, living an engaging life, and living a meaningful life.
Curiosity, lifelong learning, and moments of awe can enrich our lives in remarkable ways. Research has linked these experiences to greater creativity, improved well-being, stronger social connections, and reduced stress. Yet in our busy lives, we don't always make time for them.
The Humane Space makes it easy to bring more discovery, wonder, and reflection into your everyday routine. With thousands of thoughtfully curated, 100% human-made experiences, you can:
- Nourish Your Mind: Take refreshing breaks from your daily routine with fascinating discoveries that spark curiosity and new ideas.
- Expand Your Horizons: Explore unexpected subjects, discover new interests, and see the world from different perspectives.
- Find Moments of Calm: Relax and recharge with guided visualizations, calming Soundscapes, and thoughtful reflection.
- Make Lifelong Learning a Habit: Keep your mind engaged, nurture creativity, and find fulfillment through continued discovery.
Whether you have five minutes or want to spend more time exploring, The Humane Space offers a meaningful alternative to mindless scrolling and an opportunity to make curiosity a regular part of your life.
Experiencing awe has been found to increase feelings of well-being, life satisfaction and sense of meaning. A 2021 study found that people who feel more awe reported feeling lowered levels of daily stress – suggesting that the sense of vastness that awe elicits can help put our worries into perspective.
Curiosity does more than help us learn. Research has linked it to better memory, greater creativity, stronger relationships, and improved psychological well-being. By encouraging us to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and explore unfamiliar perspectives, curiosity can help us become more adaptable, open-minded, and connected to the world around us. Some research has even found associations between curiosity and longevity.
The good news? Curiosity is something we can actively cultivate through quick, everyday experiences.

Lifelong learning isn't just about gaining knowledge or developing new skills. Research has linked it to greater happiness, life satisfaction, confidence, and resilience. Exploring unfamiliar subjects can also support memory and cognitive flexibility, spark creativity, and help us stay mentally engaged as we age. And when we share what we learn with others, it can deepen our relationships and sense of connection.
Lifelong learning doesn't require formal classes or hours of study. Following your curiosity for just a few minutes each day can make learning an enjoyable, rewarding part of everyday life.

Awe is the feeling we experience when we encounter something that expands our sense of the world, whether it's a breathtaking landscape, a remarkable work of art, an act of extraordinary kindness, or an unexpected discovery. Research suggests that experiencing awe can reduce stress, increase feelings of connection, encourage generosity, and improve overall well-being. Awe can also shift our attention away from everyday worries, giving us a greater sense of perspective.
And awe doesn't require an extraordinary experience. By paying closer attention to the world around us, we can discover moments of wonder in even the most ordinary parts of life.
