#82 Ben Mumme: Curiosity is The Hunger of The Human Mind

Nov 7, 2022

Ben Mumme is the founder, curator, and podcast host of the Living Your Greatness Podcast. The purpose of the podcast is to inspire millions of people across the world to achieve greatness and enhance their overall personal well-being.

Living Your Greatness is becoming the go-to resource that CEOs, elite athletes, professional coaches, and entrepreneurs rely on to upgrade themselves. The podcast helps you master the best of what other people have already figured out.

In this episode, Ben talks about curiosity and how it is the hunger of the human mind. It is such a basic component of our natures that we are nearly oblivious to its pervasiveness in our lives.

Curiosity is thought of as the noblest of human drives. It is an innately human quality that has driven us to explore, ask questions, investigate, wonder why and search for a deeper understanding.

We see curiosity most clearly in how it manifests itself in geniuses. Intellectual giants such as Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman are all curious characters.

In a very fundamental way, curiosity is the driver of all self-directed learning. It is our desire to find out more, unlock new knowledge and answer our questions that compel us to learn.

Ben shares 8 reasons why you should increase your intellectual curiosity:

1 - Curiosity makes your mind active instead of passive.

2 - Curiosity boosts your probability of achievement.

3 - Curiosity makes your mind observant of new ideas.

4 - Curiosity can expand your empathy.

5 - Curiosity opens up new worlds and possibilities.

6 - Curiosity helps strengthen relationships.

7 - Curiosity is essential for your happiness.

8 - Curiosity brings excitement into your life.
