And so what I mean by that is when you are getting curious about someone else and their viewpoints and their perspectives and their life stories, oftentimes they will be inspired to give that curiosity back to you. And researchers sometimes call this like the give and take spiral.

It's when you're in a conversation and you're asking a bunch of questions, they're asking questions to you back and it's like a great meeting, a great date, whatever context you want to put that in. And so I wasn't just learning about the people, that I met on my road trip, but they were learning a lot about me and my life story as well.

my book Seek is really about how do we move away from reactivity or closing ourselves off to this curiosity, which actually feels really good, right? Curiosity releases dopamine, which is often called the happy hormone. It's something that drives and incentivize behaviors that are really important for us. and our survival and our livelihoods and curiosity is no different.
