Seek: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World -- Scott Shigeoka - Hardcover


Did you know that curiosity is your superpower? Maximize your capacity for connection, healing, and personal growth with this "timely bridge for our divided world." (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential)

"We've been hiding from each other for far too long. Seek offers us an empathic, practical, and heartfelt road map forward." Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance and Tribes

Political blow-ups, vaccine controversy, religious freedom, climate change, gender rights--division, loneliness, and polarization have ripped us apart. Our friendships are strained, teams at work can't find common ground, families are divided, and healing feels out of reach... but it doesn't have to.

Internationally-recognized curiosity expert Scott Shigeoka knows that the radical practice of Deep Curiosity, rooted in a desire to understand ourselves and others beneath the surface, holds our only path to connection and transformation.

Richly researched and written with electric vulnerability, Seek teaches readers more than a dozen concrete strategies to bring Deep Curiosity into their lives through Shigeoka's signature DIVE model:
  • Detach -- Let go of their ABCs (assumptions, biases, certainty),
  • Intend -- Prepare their mindset and setting,
  • Value -- See the dignity of every person, including themselves,
  • Embrace -- Welcome the hard times in their life
Whether you want to save a relationship, improve employee relations, or just find peace at the next family reunion, Seek is a revolutionary toolkit for our most urgent challenges.
