Todd Kashdan is insatiably curious. He is also a fabulous conversationalist with a mischievous, maverick streak.
Todd is a Professor of Psychology, and the founder and director of the Wellbeing Lab at George Mason University in Virginia, USA. Todd is the most highly cited psychologist working in the field of curiosity research in history, with over 56,000 citations. He is in the top 1% of global scholars. His lab has produced over 250 peer-reviewed journal articles on well-being and resilience, psychological flexibility, meaning and purpose in life, curiosity, and managing social anxiety.
Todd’s work has shown that being curious opens the door to more than just happiness - it is a powerful trait that is too often overlooked on the road to finding purpose and meaning in life. He says it leads to critical thinkers armed with courage, resilience, and a love of learning and discovery.
Todd is the author of a number books including Curious, The Art of Insubordination and The Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self Not Just Your “Good” Self--Drives Success and Fulfillment.
He also writes prodigiously at his Substack newsletter Provoked.
