Episode 4060: Michael Mehlberg explores how adulthood often dulls our natural curiosity and sense of wonder, and suggests that reclaiming it starts with asking more questions. By keeping a discovery journal to capture and investigate those questions, listeners can cultivate continuous learning, deepen their understanding of the world, and enrich their daily experiences. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://michaelmehlberg.com/blog/2015/5/29/discovery-journal Quotes to ponder: "It's time to admit what we don't know." "Recognizing our inexperience lets us breath in a fresh perspective." "It is as important to seek answers as it is to find those questions that inspire us."
