Ian spends an ample amount of time in defining the different types of curiosity and then shares many day-to-day examples about those different curiosities. Ian not only shares various stories well, but makes a good argument that curiosity is in severe decline in our present day.Ĭurious is not a doom and gloom, life-is-falling-apart type of book. He certainly has done his research in regards to the research that others have completed. He weaves common sense ideas into the research that he has uncovered to make a person want to keep turning the pages. Ian Leslie, who is a United Kingdom based author, journalist, and speaker, had my devoted attention and curiosity piqued after having read only the introduction to his book. I did not want the book to end, so I put off reading the last chapter for at least a month so that I could delay the inevitable ending.
Well, I cannot say that about the very interesting, well-written, and fascinating book about being Curious. I made three attempts and cast the book aside.
I seem to recall trying to get past the first several chapters of Centennial’ many years ago because everyone was talking about the book as if it was one of the best books ever written.
We all know the saying: ‘Soo many books and soo little time’. Through the many years I have spent on this earth, I have to admit that there have been many books which I started to read and chose to not waste my time to laboriously finish the books. ***Post Written by Carol Kramer, Northeast Representative for WSPA***Ĭurious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends On It by Ian Leslie
