About this listen

Maximize your potential 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)

If you've felt alienated and alone in recent years, you're in good company. Whether it's a rift in your family, polarization at your workplace or just a sense that society isn't as connected as it once was, many of us feel painful chasms in our connections. Internationally-recognized curiosity expert and bridge builder Scott Shigeoka knows that there’s only one cure: Deep Curiosity.

In Seek, Shigeoka blends cutting-edge research with vulnerable storytelling to teach readers their signature DIVE model. With his guidance, you’ll learn more than a dozen practical strategies to:

·Detach — Let go of your ABCs (assumptions, biases, certainty),
·Intend — Prepare your mindset and setting,
·Value — See the dignity of every person, including yourself,
·Embrace — Welcome the hard times in your life.

Seek is a revolutionary playbook to heal division, estrangement, hatred, and our most urgent societal challenges.

"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

Entertaining and practical

I loved seeing the author's personality come through and really appreciated all of the application exercises. I hope to become a more curious person and a more effective curiosity advocate in my workplace and personal life. Thanks Scott for being so vulnerable!

Enjoyable and Insightful

The narrator, being the author, is pleasant to listen to. I found his book to be more of a personal commentary on how to be open to learning about different people, cultures and personalities - those that are different from our own. Basically, we should all take a personal interest in others, a basic and kind interest. He writes about his own experiences. For someone who not good at socializing at functions, this book might be helpful to be more flexible and chatty with meeting new people.

Curiosity has its limits

I appreciated the insight that approaching people and situations from a perspective of curiosity can lead to all types of better outcomes. The author fails to apply this in areas he believes are moral absolutes such as LGBT rights, abortion rights, and any other progressive cause. On the one hand he rightly talks about treating people individually but then couches his stances in group identities.

Not sure

Same vibe, voice scale, tone and message in every chapter. This kept putting me to sleep and I barely got through the book without thinking am I going to learn something new.
