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

Product Information

In this summary I am presenting only the questions from the book “The Book of Beautiful Questions by Warren Berger”. I always like books like these as they remind me in how much there is to learn and appreciate from others and how the right question can unlock rich connections with others. I like the VUCA acronym (Volatility Uncertainty Complexity Ambiguity) for thinking about dynamic life situations. In general, these questions, and their examples of how and when to use them, are intended to help you decide, create, connect, lead, and succeed in challenging times. Where this particular book has value is in the way that the author asks a lot of questions and encourages the reader not only to ask questions of others but also of ourselves, as to our own motives.

And that sense of hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness makes this book a lot less easier to enjoy than it would have had I been able to appreciate the shared attitude of questioning that the author and I possess in common. Dito isso, o livro começa bem, cria uma divisão interessante de capítulos que parecem endereçar frentes diversas, mas em algum ponto lá pela metade começa a ficar um pouco chato de ler. It is similar to the work of Ryan Holiday in that you read only a little every day and contemplate the question asked of yourself (or to ask another). Because until we can accurately present one another's arguments, we do not know what the other is saying"(iii) Repeat back a few words that the person has said in the form of a question.It never occurred to me that this serendipitous act was going to change my perspective on many things: convinced me of the efficacy using questioning as a way to test my thinking; clear up how I perceive my thinking; and in many ways it made me look at my biases in a clearer manner.

After that the author seeks to ask questions to inspire creativity, subtly trying to coerce people into becoming morning people rather than night owls, and asking questions about killing butterflies and going public (2). Siegel explains, adding: “This simple question can help cultivate a reflective attitude” that restrains the impulse to interrupt and interject while listening to someone. It makes the concept of asking questions so accessible and feasible, it feels obvious now that you know. This is a classic “clarifying” question used by interviewers to invite people to better explain themselves.Previous to the beautiful question books, l wrote the international bestseller Glimmer: How Design Can Transform Business and Your Life (Penguin; 2009; retitled "CAD Monkeys, Dinosaur Babies, and T-Shaped People" in the U.

months later he found that the "yes/heads" people were significantly happier than the "no/tails" people. The more we can get into the habit of asking good questions, the more-rewarding experience we can find with our loved ones, family, friends, work, and yes, even total strangers. Fino all’ultima pagina, bianca, sulla quale qualcuno stenderà l’indice del libro, un indice inappellabile perché non sarà possibile cambiarlo. Ora quel dove non c’è più, scomparso, annientato dal tempo che si ritrova nella variabile-costante “quando” e non sa come. This book is much better than that and I think the message that he has regarding leadership is much deeper and thought provoking than those coming out of the mouths of the business gurus.

The journalist and innovation expert Berger argues there is, and in this breezy management book he seeks to improve our capacity to question. I have been a big fan of Warren Berger’s work after I first read his book: A More Beautiful Question when it first came out. Chi sono, chi siamo, chi sono gli altri, chi mi ama, chi mi teme, chi mi segue, chi davvero sono io, quando sono sveglio, quando dormo, parlo, mangio, penso, scrivo, lavoro, viaggio, studio.
