簡介：本書用大量心理學及科學實證探討好奇心的起因、類別、重要性及如何保持高度好奇的方法，作者認為人類之所以與動物不同，在於我們會問問題，並且對不知道的事感到好奇，藉由知識一代代的累積，人們可以達成非凡的成就，而下列7種習慣，能夠幫助我們維持好奇心：

  1. Stay foolish
  2. Build the database
  3. Forage like a foxhog
  4. Ask the big why
  5. Be a thinker
  6. Question your teaspoons
  7. Turn puzzles into mysteries

心得：資訊爆炸的時代，知識的流通已不受地域限制，然而正因爲如此容易的取得知識，我們對問題卻失去了一種追根到底的好奇心，常常流於表面的快速解答，因此培養對事物更深、更廣的探索習慣，將使我們變得更聰明、更有創造力。 I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious (Albert Einstein). 這句話說明了唯有好奇的持續探究，我們才能夠發現事物的不凡之處。

關於好奇心的兩三句話…

  1. The poorer a household is, the more time its children spend glued to a device.
  2. Ability for human to ask question (not shared by other primates).
  3. Have to know what you don't know: conceive your own ignorance, image different-compete possibilities, understand you can learn from other people.
  4. Curiosity issue from intellect emotion and drive.
  5. It is better to be a human being satisfied than a pig dissatisfied, better to be socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.
  6. Two contrary emotions arose in me, fear and desire: fear of threatening dark cavern, desire to see whether there were any marvellance thing within it.
  7. We spend our entire lives at the entrance of a cave, caught between safety of the familiar and yearning for novelty, the peace of home and thrill of travel, the tonic and dominant chords.
  8. Each turning point hooks curiosity.
