About this episode
It's human nature to be curious. In fact, being curious is good for us. We release dopamine when we flex our curiosity. Being curious makes us more compassionate and gives us an edge at problem solving. However, as we age, many of us become more set in our ways and less curious. Our current political climate has polarized us, and we have become more set in our ways and less curious about our differences.Scott Shigeoka is an internationally recognized curiosity expert, speaker, and the author of SEEK: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World. Scott left his life in San Fransisco and traveled cross country in his Prius to seek out people and places that were vastly different than himself.
Hear what he found and learn the tools to reignite your curiosity in this episode as he tells us his surprising, inspirational, and hopeful story.
