Hi, I’m Chris Reid

The UK government (for some reason) pays me to research curiosity.

I write about what curiosity is, why it matters, and how to cultivate it — drawing on psychology, philosophy, and whatever else catches my attention.

This is a collection of stories that don’t fit into my PhD thesis but seem too interesting to ignore

I hope you find something to spark your curiosity
