Curiosity

cu·ri·os·i·ty

What does Curiosity mean?

Choosing to wonder instead of assume. Curiosity turns ‘that's wrong’ into ‘how did they get there?’

Another way of seeing Curiosity

It's almost impossible to be furious and genuinely curious at the same time. Try it. The moment you sincerely ask ‘why would someone do that?’, the heat drops a few degrees. That makes curiosity far more than a hobby. It's one of the most underrated tools we have for anger, fear and boredom alike.

Curiosity in relationships

People feel loved when they feel known. Ask the second question — the one after ‘how was your day?’ — and wait for the real answer.

Curiosity in everyday life

Take a different route, order the thing you can't pronounce, or ask someone about a part of their life you've never asked about. Treat today like a place you're visiting.

Carry this with you

Wonder before you judge.

Everyone connects with different words in different ways. How did this one land with you?
