Through the art of asking good questions, we can evaluate, compare, learn and move forward amid ambiguity and uncertainty. When faced with demanding life scenarios, the learnable skill of questioning enhances decision-making and critical thinking.
In this book, Warren Berger encourages readers to find the right questions that allow them to evaluate both new and existing challenges with fresh perspective.
Berger shares illuminating anecdotes and compelling research on the benefits of asking questions, drawing on insights from psychologists, innovators, business leaders and some of the world’s most creative thinkers. He also presents essential questions that help enhance decision-making, creativity, relationships and leadership, including self-leadership.
