Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The cliche is that curiosity killed the cat. But some think our inquisitive nature is more beneficial than we realize — and may even be the key to a fulfilling life. We explore the neurological significance of curiosity, and why some claim it’s enough to boost your mood and increase productivity.
Guests
- Todd Kashdan Director, Laboratory for the Study of Social Anxiety, Character Strengths, and Related Phenomena, George Mason University; Author, "Curious? Discovering the Missing Ingredient to a Fulfilling Life"
