Sinopse

This book is a fascinating examination of what is perhaps our most human characteristic: the deep desire to know and understand things. Curiosity is essential for creativity and the primary motivator behind science. Yet, there is no scientific consensus on why humans are curious, nor on what specific mechanisms in our brains are responsible for curiosity. Could this trait be a direct product of natural selection? Why do even seemingly trivial questions sometimes make us extremely curious? How does our mind choose the objects of our curiosity? These and many other intriguing questions are explored by Mario Livio, whose insatiable curiosity gives rise to this irresistible book, which will captivate anyone curious about curiosity.
