We have partnered with UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center to provide you with these scientific facts. Click on an item below to expand and reveal more.

Curiosity helps us survive

The urge to explore and seek novelty helps us understand our constantly changing environment, which may be why our brains evolved to release dopamine and other feel-good chemicals when we encounter new things.

Curious people are happier

Studies link curiosity with positive emotions and psychological well-being.

Curiosity boosts achievement

Research reveals that curiosity leads to greater learning, engagement, and performance at school as well as at work.

Curiosity can expand our empathy

When we are curious about others and talk to people outside our usual social circle, we become better able to understand those with lives and worldviews different than our own.

Curiosity strengthens our relationships

In one study, after people asked a stranger personal questions and answered the stranger’s own questions, the stranger rated curious people as more attractive and felt closer to them than less curious people.

Curiosity improves healthcare

Research has shown that when doctors are genuinely curious about their patients’ perspectives, both doctors and patients report less anger and frustration and make better decisions, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of their treatment.
