Via the art of a good question, we can evaluate, compare, learn, and move forward amid ambiguity and uncertainty. When confronted with various demanding life scenarios, the learnable skill of asking questions can enhance our decision-making and critical thinking.
In this book, Warren Berger encourages us to find the right questions that enable us to evaluate new and old challenges afresh.
Berger shares illuminating anecdotes and compelling research on the benefits of asking questions. The content is drawn from the insights and expertise of psychologists, innovators, business leaders, and a variety of the world’s most eminent creative thinkers. He also presents the essential questions readers can use to enhance decision making, creativity relationships and leadership (including self-leadership).
