By definition, if something is foolish, it’s ill-considered, unwise, lacking forethought. Sounds pretty grim. But foolishness is also silliness, zaniness, a way of getting beyond one’s dependence of the approval of others. On this episode of All the F Words, Gabi and Joanne will examine foolishness – how it’s different than stupidity, how it can be connected to curiosity and impulsivity, how it can keep you searching for new answers. In short, how and why foolishness can play a positive role in your life.
