Monica Guzman’s Ted Talk- “How Curiosity Will Save Us”

How Curiosity Will Save Us | Mónica Guzmán | TEDxSeattle

For Mónica Guzmán, curiosity isn’t a muse that flits by when we wonder about something. It’s the most powerful tool we have to navigate our world, especially when our world is dangerously divided along political lines. “If you can’t be curious across divides in a polarized world,” she says, “you can’t see the world at all.”
