Summary:
"In Curious Minds: The Power of Connection, the authors explore what curiosity is and what it can do. Traipsing across the fields of philosophy and neuroscience, literature and network science, they discover that current definitions of curiosity are remarkably limited. Rather than think of curiosity as a drive to acquire new bits of information, they argue that curiosity is a practice of connection"-- Provided by publisher.
