Come in you relentlessly curious adventurers! Do you complain more or less than average? Are your complaints valuable? How do you value your own complaints? How do you value other's complaints?

What's your favorite complaint?

How often do you complain to seek commiseration versus to seek a solution?

Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!

The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.

What’s more important to you? What you know…or how you think?

Do you say you value how you think more than you value what you know? How much time to you set aside for thinking, developing how you think?

This week's Curiosity Bite:

What's something that you complain about that you never try to do anything about? What's something that you don't complain about but you actually do something about?

Related experiment: Today, only complain about things that you do nothing about. Tomorrow, do the opposite? What is the opposite?

In this episode...Curious Questions asked and (maybe) answered...

Is doing something about something better than doing nothing? Always? Sometimes? Never?

How effective are your complaints?

Are you strategic about to whom you complain?

What's the most common desired outcome to your complaining to others?

How often do you modify what you complain about to manage others' impression of you?
