WHETHER YOU'RE WANTING TO DEVELOP YOUR PERSONAL CURIOSITY THROUGH THE USE OF STRUCTURED FRAMEWORKS, OR FOSTER A CURIOSITY MINDSET WITHIN TEAMS AND ORGANISATIONS, THESE TWO BESTSELLING BOOKS WILL GUIDE YOU ALONG YOUR JOURNEY.

CURIOSITY: THE SECRET INGREDIENT FOR SUCCESS IN PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH.

This book is intended to help professionals embrace curiosity to create a more joyful work-life balance.

Curiosity; the secret ingredient for success in personal & professional growth is a non-fiction book that is designed for individuals who see themselves as agents of positive change and want to transform their teams and organizations. It’s structured to help readers develop curiosity, offering stories, frameworks, and reflection questions to deepen their understanding. Each chapter begins with a thought-provoking quote and a trigger question, followed by reflective questions to solidify key concepts.

 

The book is divided into four parts:
 

  1. The Neuroscience of Curiosity: It explores what curiosity is, how it works, its benefits, and the barriers to curiosity.
     

  2. Maximizing Curiosity: This section presents a model for fostering curiosity at both the individual and collective levels.

     

  3. Specific Areas of Focus: It delves into topics like leadership, culture, artificial intelligence, and broader themes such as good citizenship and environmental responsibility.

     

  4. Conclusion and Call to Action: The book wraps up with a conclusion and a motivational call to action for readers to apply the concepts in their lives.

THE WORKPLACE CURIOSITY MANIFESTO

You will love this book if you are curious, if you have an urge to make things better for others, and if you are 'curious about curiosity'.


The Workplace Curiosity Manifesto is a non-fiction book that speaks to professionals, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders who seek to explore the power of exploration and curiosity in a new way.

In this book, you'll learn about what it takes to grow your own curiosity mindset and how you can help improve your environment to embrace openness. You'll hear stories such as: 
 

  • How Olympic champions are using curiosity to their benefit

  • Why curiosity is not something only reserved for start-ups

  • How the power of curious ideas can create successful enterprises

  • Why curiosity is something we need to keep working on

  • Why companies such as Blockbusters, Eastman-Kodak, Nokia and others perished - because they didn’t focus on curiosity.

CURIOSITY IS A POWERFUL FORCE THAT DRIVES LEARNING, GROWTH, AND HAPPINESS. THOSE WHO EXCEL AT CURIOSITY TEND TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS AND HENCE LEARN FASTER. HOWEVER, CURIOSITY IS OFTEN UNDER-APPRECIATED IN ORGANISATIONS, AND THE CURIOSITY MUSCLES NEED FLEXING MORE IN INDIVIDUALS.

AUTHORS NOTE

In these books, I explore how curiosity can be cultivated like a muscle, and how leaders can foster it in their teams to drive innovation and adaptation in the 21st century. With the world changing rapidly, relying solely on past experience is no longer enough.

 

Companies need to embrace new questions and solutions, requiring openness, self-awareness, focus, and humility. Despite the benefits, many people and organizations prioritize conformity over exploration. These books aim to shift that mindset and help both individuals and companies harness the power of curiosity.

Quick Release

Curiosity is the new growth mindset. Stefaan’s Workplace Curiosity Manifesto distills curiosity into its essence. Like Simon Sinek’s why/how/what, it’s a wonderfully simple, sticky concept, which makes it accessible and immediately beneficial to everyone. He gives us the tools to harness and leverage our innate curiosity.

Brought to life with stimulating examples, provocative thinking, and compelling arguments, this book will become your new binge series. When you do finally look up from this book, you will find yourself seeing the world with entirely fresh eyes.

What I love with Stefaan’s Workplace Curiosity Manifesto is that it makes clear and tangible how to unleash the unsuspected power of curiosity. Reading it enabled me to clearly see how to make curiosity a tangible and actionable pillar of growth for both individuals and organisations.

The one book that unravels curiosity and the business impact of the same. ‘Surprise triggers questions and questions trigger curiosity. Curiosity triggers even more questions.’ The book drives you towards an intentional mindset to challenge the status quo, explore, discover, and learn. A well-researched and fascinating read on Curiosity
