WorkLife with Adam Grant

CHAPTER

The Importance of Inquisitiveness

I feel like Plato had me at the idea that no one who wanted to rule should ever be allowed to govern. I might pick a value to instill in parents and it would be something like the thought that it's sort of your child's job to teach you how to parent. If you wanted to instill something like inquisitiveness or learning in your child the only way to do it would be if you had an inquisitive approach to it. Expect to learn from your child what values you're supposed to be instilling in them. Philosopher Kings for the win.
