[Machine Translation] It is "knowledge" that continues to drive curiosity, and "effort" is required to acquire knowledge. On the other hand, the "curiosity gap" that stems from the environment of childhood can develop into a serious economic disparity. What can we do for ourselves and our children? Drawing on a wide variety of examples, this book explains how curiosity is born and nurtured and why it is necessary for human beings to be curious. This nonfiction book is a must-read for parents, educators, and intellectually motivated businesspeople.
