Here's a fun exercise for introverts: carry around a large bright yellow book that says Curious? in giant black letters. If that's not a conversation starter, I don't know what is...
There are a lot of books that promise to help you find the key to happiness. There are a lot of books that don't deliver. Curious? by Todd Kashdan, is not one of those books. Over and over again I found myself nodding, wanting to highlight things or make notes in the margins. Kashdan blends years of scientific research with everyday stories readers can relate to, and the end result is a highly engaging, fun, and interesting read.
The idea behind it all is that we need to feel like we're "seeking the new" to feel fulfilled. But obviously we can't spend every moment seeking out new experiences, so we need to learn to be curious and explorers in our daily lives. From our intellectual pursuits to relationships to mundane chores, Kashdan offers in depth look at how to expand our curiosity to become a more fulfilled (and yes, happier) person.
This is a must read!
