Really enjoyed this richly written piece about my favourite subject - curiosity :)
"At its best, curiosity thrives on immersive attention: a state of deep, undistracted presence where we are fully engaged and receptive to the interaction in its entirety. It’s a state of attention where we’re so attuned to the moment it dissolves the boundary between observer and observed, while still feeling natural."
This is so well explained - curiosity is a deep experience of immersion and attention. When we give this we naturally receive it back - the energy of curiosity always rewards us in some way, through knowledge, connection, wonder. Thank you for sharing!
All the time! Curiosity underpins all of my work, especially on my Substack, The Breakout Room, which embraces my professional background in academia, creative work, politics and culture. Curiosity is food for the soul!
