Bookseller recommendation
“I was born curious. As a toddler, I was often found running down the sidewalk, off on an adventure. They eventually had to put me in a harness and tie me to a fence in the front yard. I know what it means to want to learn new things, to wonder about life and other people. I think it's wonderful that the author has linked curiosity with our need to listen to others and try to understand them. I always argue for the idea that there is a reason people are the way they are and I want to understand the reasons behind their thoughts and their actions instead of judging and condemning them. The author is an expert on the value of curiosity and it shows in this revealing, inspirational guide to supporting or reawakening our own curiosity. I'm pretty sure we all started out curious. Some of us just lost is along the way and now's our chance to get it back!”
— Linda • Auntie's Bookstore
Maximize your potential for connection, healing, and personal growth with this “timely bridge for our divided world.” (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential)
If you've felt alienated and alone in recent years, you're in good company. Whether it's a rift in your family, polarization at your workplace or just a sense that society isn't as connected as it once was, many of us feel painful chasms in our connections. Internationally-recognized curiosity expert and bridge builder Scott Shigeoka knows that there’s only one cure: Deep Curiosity.
In Seek, Shigeoka blends cutting-edge research with vulnerable storytelling to teach readers their signature DIVE model. With his guidance, you’ll learn more than a dozen practical strategies to:
·Detach — Let go of your ABCs (assumptions, biases, certainty),
·Intend — Prepare your mindset and setting,
·Value — See the dignity of every person, including yourself,
·Embrace — Welcome the hard times in your life.
Seek is a revolutionary playbook to heal division, estrangement, hatred, and our most urgent societal challenges.
"We've been hiding from each other for far too long. Seek offers us an empathic, practical, and heartfelt road map forward." ―Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance and Tribes
