The Science and Traits that Promote Curiosity
The role of curiosity in influencing our thoughts and actions

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.

Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious…and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

By taking good note of the points mentioned in this podcast and acting on them, you will be able to reach heights you never thought possible and achieve things you never dared to imagine before. So, go ahead and explore all the world has to offer.

And in case you didn’t already know it, John R. Miles (@john_r_miles) takes your requests for topics on Momentum Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Momentum Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Let’s dive in!

Throughout history, curiosity has been credited as the driving force behind human progress and advances in science, language, and industry.
