The Book of Beautiful Questions: The Powerful Questions That Will Help You Decide, Create, Connect, and Lead

What's in a question? Plenty, according to business journalist Berger. In an earlier work (A More Beautiful Question), the author explored how the right kinds of questions can spark creativity and innovation. In this follow-up, he delves further into "beautiful questions," which are powerful tools that can transform people's thinking. As a self-styled "questionologist," the author explores how the technique of asking questions can be used to brainstorm ideas, challenge our beliefs, engage with people more fully, and make wiser decisions. Berger focuses on four main areas: decision-making, creativity, connecting with others, and the ever-important realm of leadership. He looks at how asking the right questions can get to the heart of important matters by shifting our perspectives and helping us see issues from more than one angle. After laying the framework of the right questions to ask, the author rounds out the book with a discussion of how to create an inquiring life; the process of questioning instead of reacting; and probing to find solutions to problems.
