The Curiosity Gap: Why Do We Stop Asking Questions as Adults?

By C A J Cox

From our first breath, curiosity fuels our journey - guiding early humans through survival, sparking the birth of philosophy, shaping civilizations, igniting scientific revolutions, and inspiring space exploration. Yet as we grow older, that instinct to wonder often fades. This book is a sweeping exploration of curiosity: its evolutionary roots, its role in education and imagination, its decline in adulthood, and the profound impact this loss can have on innovation, empathy, and personal fulfillment. Blending history, philosophy, science, and psychology, this compelling narrative reveals why curiosity is not just a childhood trait but a powerful, lifelong force - essential for human progress. Whether you're an educator, a dreamer, or someone rediscovering the joy of asking questions, this book is a celebration of the curious spirit that defines us all.
