Chapter Meeting – April 2024: How Curiosity May Have Killed the Cat – Learning to be Curious Enough

Sheraton Imperial RTP

This is a hybrid meeting. If you will attend virtually, select "virtual" check box on the registration page.

Abstract:  We are all born curious and for some of us that curiosity never goes away. For others, curiosity is discouraged and over time wanes. Research shows that people who experience curiosity are happier and enjoy higher levels of wellbeing than those whose curiosity is less. Curiosity helps us to look past the obvious, see possibilities and embrace an experimental mindset. We ask, “what happens when?” and “what can I learn” instead of being afraid of the unknown. Join this session to learn how curiosity makes us happier and how to cultivate a healthy level of curiosity that is aligned with your current context.
