But only some retain the habits of exploring, learning, and discovering as they grow older. Those who do so tend to be smarter, more creative, and more successful. But at the very moment when the rewards of curiosity have never been higher, it is misunderstood and undervalued, and increasingly monopolized by the cognitive elite. A \"curiosity divide\" is opening up.\n\nIn Curious, Ian Leslie makes a passionate case for the cultivation of our \"desire to know.\" Drawing on fascinating research from psychology, economics, education, and business, Leslie looks at what feeds curiosity and what starves it, and finds surprising answers. Curiosity is a mental muscle that atrophies without regular exercise and a habit that parents, schools, and workplaces need to nurture.\n\nFilled with inspiring stories, case studies, and practical advice, Curious will change the way you think about your own mental life, and that of those around you.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465097626\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0465097626.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leslie, Ian\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
