“Most people recognize the value of curiosity, but few know how to unleash it. Seek will help you close the gap between awareness and action. Scott Shigeoka’s thirst for understanding and connection is contagious, and his book is a timely bridge for our divided world.”―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the TED podcast Re:Thinking
Open your mind, heal your relationships, and connect across divides with this “energizing, creative, and exciting” (Gretchen Rubin) approach to deep curiosity from an internationally-recognized curiosity expert—perfect for fans of Atlas of the Heart and Talking to Strangers.
Did you know that curiosity is your superpower? It’s no secret that division, loneliness, and polarization are on the rise—to catastrophic impact on our personal lives. While we often think of curiosity as a personality trait, internationally-recognized curiosity expert Scott Shigeoka knows that it’s actually the most potent tool we have to bridge our differences and heal relationships: From political blow-ups to age divides at work; religious differences to languishing friendships; gun rights to gender rights.
In Seek, Shigeoka blends cutting edge research on curiosity with wisdom from years of grassroots community work and the stories of people living at the threshold of deep curiosity—ancient wayfinders in the Pacific Ocean, Catholic nuns and Millennial seekers sharing a convent, a wildland firefighter in Montana, and more—as he takes listeners on a journey to understand the power of deep curiosity.
With the support of Shigoeka’s four-phase DIVE model, listeners will learn to…
Detach—Let go of their ABCs (assumptions, biases, certainty),
Intend—Prepare their mindset and setting,
Value—See the dignity of every person, including themselves,
Embrace—Welcome the hard times in their life,
…As they unlock the capacity for connection, healing, and personal growth.
With electric vulnerability, thoughtful storytelling, and actionable tools, Seek calls each of us to stop turning away from what is unfamiliar, uncomfortable or unknown and, instead, embrace our power to seek.
“We’ve been hiding from each other for far too long. Seek offers us an empathic, practical and heartfelt road map forward.”―Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance

If you try to approach every experience with openness, curiosity (quest for deeper knowledge), and gratitude, the world really does open up to you.

St Augustine, in the Confessions (X:LV) cautioned that curiosity was among the most grievous of mortal sins: ‘Thus men proceed to investigate the phenomena of nature—the part of nature external to us—though the knowledge is of no value to them: for they wish to know simply for the sake of knowing.’
This was the beginning of the Dark Ages.
As Einstein reminds us: a man with no curiosity might as well be dead (though he could make a saint).

And of course, ignorant prydeful racism & genocide denial do not serve the enterprise of knowledge. Such mindlessly ineducable bigotry is where curiosity, openness & knowledge die. The true Dark Age of a closed & prydeful, er, mind.
A good beginning would be to let go of all that bitterness & hatred.
Also, in historiography, “Dark Age” is a term of art which refers to a period which wholly lacks written sources, as in the Greek Dark Age (1200 BC to 800 BC - writing itself was actually lost). Always happy to help.
As to Augustine - that decontextualised quotation is another expedient misrepresentation. What is actually being discussed by Augustine is morbid fascination, not knowledge per se. (Augustine was one of the greatest philosophers & theologians - seekers after knowledge - in human hx, & justifiably renowned as such.) So, the true purpose of the misrepresentation?
What precedes the decontextualised quotation: “At this point I mention another form of temptation…a certain vain desire and curiosity, not of taking delight in the body, but…cloaked under the name of learning & knowledge.
In this it is easy to distinguish between the way in which the senses serve pleasure & the way in which they serve curiosity…but curiosity for the sake of experiment can go after quite contrary things…through the mere itch to experience & find out. What pleasure can there be in seeing a mangled corpse, which is only horrible? yet if there happens to be one anywhere about, people flock to it to be saddened & sickened: indeed they are in terror that they may dream about it. So that you would think that when they are awake they would not go to see it unless either they were dragged there by force, or some false report that the sight was beautiful had drawn them. It is the same with the other senses which it would be long to follow up. Because of this disease of curiosity you have the various freaks shown in the theatres. Thus men proceed to investigate the phenomena of nature—the part of nature external to us—though the knowledge is of no value to them: for they wish to know simply for the sake of knowing. We have a similar thing when for the sake of the same perverted learning inquiry is made by way of magic.”
So, in context we have the learning inquiry & desire to know “perverted” through morbid fascination. This, Augustine reasonably deprecates. Always happy to help.
However, beware of falling so easily for decontextualised internet quotations intended to “Destroy!” or “Smash!” thinkers like Augustine. That’s a lazy habit of our age.
Clearly, far more reading required.
