Synopsis

Curious?" is one of those rare books that can make you rethink how you see the world. Arianna Huffington This is the perfect book to read when you are having second thoughts about challenging yourself to explore that next step in life Stephen Post, Ph.D., coauthor of Why Good Things Happen to Good People"Discover the missing ingredient to a fulfilling life with Curious? "In this fascinating, enlightening volume, renowned psychology professor Todd Kashdan reveals how cultivating curiosity is the road to happy, healthy, and meaningful living and the true key to falling in love with life."

Synopsis

In Curious? Dr. Todd Kashdan offers a profound new message missing from so many books on happiness: the greatest opportunities for joy, purpose, and personal growth don't, in fact, happen when we're searching for happiness. They happen when we are mindful, when we explore what's novel, when we live in the moment, when we are open to new experiences and relish the unknown.

Using science, story, and practical exercises, Dr. Kashdan offers a blueprint for building lasting, meaningful relationships, improving health, increasing creativity, and boosting productivity. You, too, can become a "curious explorer" comfortable with risk and challenge, capable of functioning optimally in an unstable, unpredictable world.
