I run a company called Curiosity Inc, a research and innovation company based in Toronto. We help clients all over the world ask better questions, explore those questions in interesting and creative ways and generate insights, ideas and concepts based on what we learn. We are presented with questions that we might never otherwise have the opportunity or inclination to noodle. It’s a marvelous thing to be paid to wonder and wander and explore for a living.
However, this year, in addition to tackling the questions I’m paid to noodle and explore, I am also going to have a think about, research and reflect upon a specific question that’s tickling my brain each and every day. I will share my musings – and those of the people I chat with – here. Todd Kashan writes in his book Curious? that “curiosity is part of the architecture needed for building a pleasurable, engaging and meaningful life…curiosity motivates us.” He suggests that the “greatest rewards come when…we question everything.” I couldn’t agree more. And in 2010, I’m going to do just that and see what transpires, what tranforms and what truths emerge. It will be the year of living curiously.
