Description
"Leslie argues that true curiosity--the sustained quest for understanding that begets insight and innovation--is becoming increasingly difficult to harness in our wired world. We confuse ease of access to information with curiosity, and risk losing our ability to ask questions that extend our knowledge gap rather than merely filling it. Worst of all, this decline in curiosity has led to a decline in empathy and our ability to care about those around us"--,Provided by publisher.
