ACLR: What Are You More Capable of Than You Were a Year Ago?

You’re here! Does this mean you’re more curious than average? Probably. You’re most likely more capable of curiosity than average! What’s something that you have no interest in learning or becoming more capable of?

If you had to pick one thing to become more capable of doing or understanding, what would you choose?

Comment below and we’ll give you a shout out…and maybe we’ll check in to see if you stuck to your plan!

Discuss, debate, and dissect with us!

The lens is – and always will be – curiosity. Each week, fun informal conversations center around one delectable Curiosity Bite designed to give your brain the time and ideas to think about thinking, to flex your curiosity muscle… and maybe even… revolutionize the way you think.

This week’s Curiosity Bite:

 

What Are You More Capable of Than You Were a Year Ago?

 

In this episode…Curious Questions asked and answered

What did you used to be capable of? Why did this change? Does it matter?

Would you join a debate team for adults?

Would you read, What to Expect When You’re Expecting…to Get Older?

How many songs can you think of that include the word “season”?

Have you had a midlife crisis? How would you define it?

How well can you read a physical map?

What’s a better way to absorb non-fiction books?

Are people born with the capability of humor?

    I am more capable of writing a book and marketing it than a year ago. Not an easy process. Much of that growth I owe to my book coach Barbara Grassey. Next time will be much easier…I hope.
