One “must” for this week

“The curiosity matrix: nine habits of curious minds” by Anne-Laure Le Cunff.

Curiosity is an innate human trait that varies among individuals and can fluctuate throughout the day.

For curious minds, every interaction is an opportunity to learn

Curious minds seek liminal spaces, form connections between ideas, ask generative questions, explore new interests, learn in public, challenge the default, listen with compassion, approach difficult experiences with self-compassion, and welcome the unpredictable.

Anyone can nurture their curiosity by practicing these habits.
