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

Product Information

Avete mai fatto in proposito l’esperienza di cercare di collocarvi da nessuna parte, in un “nessun dove” sia spaziale che temporale? When I spoke to business leaders, they were most interested in leadership questions, whereas those at creative gatherings sought questions that could spark creativity. For many of us, our knack for asking intriguing questions was drained out of us as a child and so Berger recommends a variety of practices and activities to help redevelop those skills. In this summary I am presenting only the questions from the book “The Book of Beautiful Questions by Warren Berger”.

The balance is to be humble enough to admit you don’t have all the answers — while being confident that you can help the organisation to figure them out. It brings curiosity and thoughtfulness to the forefront to encourage everyone to become engaged and never stop questioning the world. I also like the all-around applicability of the book in that it is something that one can find useful for their personal, social, and professional life (or all three! Fascinating, engaging stories give life to a strong argument about how much can be accomplished, in every domain of our lives, ‘just’ by asking questions.In its pages, you will find fresh (and often brilliant) ways to use the power of the interrogative to sharpen your decision-making, boost your creativity, and deepen your connections to others. Avrebbero già dovuto farle e mi meraviglia che non siano state fatte prima, se non da me, da noi, almeno da altri, altrove, per il bene di tutti, non solo suo e mio, del governo o della scuola, ma almeno per la gestione del condominio che ha bisogno di ordine.

Use Warren Berger and his new book as a guide for asking not only more beautiful questions but also more important ones. A beautiful question is one that is challenging, even confronting that can lead to more wisdom and insight about something that is important to you. Do this by projecting three different potential outcomes or scenarios — one very positive, one moderate, and one negative. A More Beautiful Question is about figuring out how to ask, and answer, the questions that can lead to new opportunities and growth.I also appreciate that Berger does more than just tell readers to question, but rather continually emphasizes the importance of context, tone, and style as any of these can change a situation from feeling like a conversation to an interrogation. Se questi sono i luoghi del dove surreali, quelli della realtà vissuta, sono ancora più intangibili degli altri.

I'm a longtime journalist (The New York Times Magazine, Wired, GQ, Reader's Digest), book author, and speaker who has written about a variety of subjects over the years—creativity, innovation, and questioning being particular favorites.

All of us can benefit by grappling with ambitious questions that encourage us to step back and consider possible ways to reimagine our lives or reinvent our careers. This is a classic “clarifying” question used by interviewers to invite people to better explain themselves. C’è chi preferisce dare la precedenza al “cosa”, chi preferisce partire direttamente dal “perché” e via discorrendo. Ora quel dove non c’è più, scomparso, annientato dal tempo che si ritrova nella variabile-costante “quando” e non sa come. My understanding is that asking questions is an active practice that connects us back to our inner most desire from our childhood -- that is -- to connect and understand anything but oneself.
