The pros and cons of this book are the same: The author has written a whole book about 'curiosity'.
It's an interesting topic and, on the whole, the author has filled it with insights, personal experience, research and talking to experts, so it is most assuredly not just filler. However, there are nevertheless times when some might wonder if it would make more impact as a paper than a book. How many people will be this deeply interested in deep curiosity?
But, having read the book, I do think it's a value worth using and teaching, and I noted down several insights that I think I can use or teach in a work context.
The author includes a framework for developing a deeper sense of curiosity (DIVE) which some may find useful, too. In short, it's: Detach (let go of assumptions/biases); Intend (prepare your mindset); Value (see the dignity of everyone and yourself); Embrace (welcome the hard times).
An interesting read that did make me think about my own curiosity levels.
