Seek: How Curiosity Can Transform Your Life and Change the World by Scott Shigeoka is a timely and transformative guide for those seeking deeper connection, healing, and personal growth in an increasingly divided world. Drawing on his expertise as an internationally-recognized curiosity expert and bridge builder, Shigeoka presents curiosity as a powerful force that can bridge the chasms of alienation and division we often feel in our personal and societal relationships.

The book begins by acknowledging the widespread sense of disconnection and loneliness that many people experience today, whether in their families, workplaces, or broader communities. Shigeoka proposes that deep curiosity, rooted in a genuine desire to understand rather than merely know, can serve as a potent antidote to these feelings of isolation.

Through his DIVE model - Detach, Intend, Value, Embrace - Shigeoka guides readers on a four-phase journey to cultivate deep curiosity as a daily practice. He offers more than fifteen actionable tools to help readers detach from assumptions and biases, prepare their mindset and environment for curiosity, recognize the dignity in every person (including themselves), and embrace life's challenges as opportunities for connection and transformation.

Throughout the book, Shigeoka weaves together scientific research, personal anecdotes, and practical strategies to demonstrate the transformative power of curiosity in fostering meaningful connections and personal well-being. He shares stories of individuals and communities who have embraced curiosity as a guiding principle, illustrating how curiosity can lead to greater understanding, empathy, and resilience.

Seek is a must-read for anyone grappling with disconnection, polarization, or a desire to cultivate more trusting and productive relationships in their personal and professional lives. By embracing deep curiosity, readers can embark on a journey of self-discovery, connection, and healing that has the potential to transform not only their own lives but also the world around them.
