Radical Curiosity: Unlock the Power of an Open Mind

By Michael McQueen

Be curious. The future belongs to those who are.

Curiosity comes naturally to kids. The average preschooler asks an extraordinary number of questions every day. Yet by adulthood, those questions are down to just a handful. We don't lose our capacity to be curious, but we do fall out of practice -- especially when technologies like AI accelerate our desire for fast, easy certainty. Radical Curiosity will show you how to retrain your brain and once again treat the unknown as an invitation for growth.

Author Michael McQueen, one of the world's leading futurists, has spent two decades helping global organisations and leaders navigate uncertainty. In Radical Curiosity, he reveals why those who thrive in the face of change are not the most intelligent or most experienced, but those who are willing to ask how and why. Through behavioural science, real-world case stories and practical prompts, you'll discover how to turn curiosity into your defining edge.

You'll learn how to:

Ask better questions and seek sharper insights Uncover opportunities that others overlook Lower the cost of changing your mind Let go of the need to always have the answer Microdose novelty with small, deliberate challenges Prevent experience from becoming your blind spot

If you need to lead a team through change, drive innovation or question long-held assumptions, Radical Curiosity reveals how. In a world where nobody knows what comes next, curiosity is what will separate you from those who get left behind.
