The Science and Traits that Promote Curiosity - John R. Miles EP 114

The majority of the novel discoveries and incredible innovations throughout history, from the printing press to airplanes to landing on the moon, all have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. The instinct to pursue new knowledge and adventures and explore untried possibilities is a fundamental human characteristic vital to our personal development. When our curiosity is activated, we think more profoundly and rationally about decisions and develop more creative solutions. But what is the science behind curiosity, what are its advantages, and how can we create it in our own life. All questions we will answer in this episode on the science and traits that promote curiosity.
