Curious? - Discover the Missing Ingredient to a Fulfilling Life

In Curious? Dr. Todd Kashdan offers a profound new message missing from so many books on happiness: the greatest opportunities for joy, purpose, and personal growth don''t, in fact, happen when we''re searching for happiness. They happen when we are mindful, when we explore what''s novel, when we live in the moment, when we are open to new experiences and relish the unknown. Using science, story, and practical exercises, Dr. Kashdan offers a blueprint for building lasting, meaningful relationships, improving health, increasing creativity, and boosting productivity. You, too, can become a ''curious explorer'' comfortable with risk and challenge, capable of functioning optimally in an unstable, unpredictable world.
