title: The Curiosity Manifesto: A Call to Live the Curious Life
author: Douglas E. Rice
description: Hi, friends. My name is Doug. I'm a marketer, writer, and researcher striving to live the curious life. I have a B.S. in economics from the University of Kentucky and an M.B.A. from Youngstown State University. Currently, I reside in northeast Ohio with my wife and an ever-expanding repertoire of animal friends. Since 2010, I have earned a living primarily through Internet marketing and web copywriting. I have also been a frequent blogger, active in several online communities. I spend most of my time doing independent research: pouring through books, journals, magazines, and blogs to find the next path ripe for exploration. While my primary professional and academic area of study is consumer behavior, I also enjoy learning about history, science, communications, psychology, and more. My personal (and professional) motto is that ever-so-brilliant sentiment expressed by Albert Einstein: "I have no special talent. I'm just passionately curious." I am a writer, but only coincidentally. First and foremost, I am now and will always be a researcher. I just happen to write about some of what I study. I hope you find it as helpful as I have. Stay Curious, Doug
