As children, we naturally question everything. But as we grow up, we often lose this innate sense of curiosity. In Learning to Learn: Why You Need to Leverage Your Curiosity, Julia Sun uses her own experiences along with those of her interviewees to explore different aspects of learning and convey the importance of being curious in our everyday lives.
This book highlights a number of inspiring individuals who have used their own sense of curiosity and wonder to their advantage:
- Amanda Lang, business journalist for BNN Bloomberg, talks about the importance of instilling psychological safety in children so as to not inhibit them from asking questions.
- Shari Hughson, Director of the MMIE Program at the Smith School of Business, shares her openness to new experiences by recounting the time she lived off the grid for seven years.
- Charlotte Kirby, founder of The Village Hive in Markham, Ontario, Canada, who works hard to foster a community of learning and growth for those in her local community.
This book is a tool to help influence your approach to lifelong learning. Use it to ask more questions, fuel your curiosity, and discover the power in learning.
