Theme of the week: Questions Questions are powerful and we discuss questions we use that have been helpful in life. Spoiler: "What would this look like if it were easy?" makes the cut. Things we mention: "Wait, What?" by James E. Ryan (shorter version in a video) Moe Shalizi on Short Story Long "Tribe of Mentors" by Tim Ferriss (book)

Whether we're in the boardroom or the classroom, we spend far too much time and energy looking for the right answer. But the truth is that questions are just as important as answers, often more so. If you ask the wrong question, for instance, you're guaranteed to get the wrong answer. A good question, on the other hand, inspires a good answer and, in the process, invites deeper understanding and more meaningful connections between people. Asking a good question requires us to move beyond what we think we know about an issue or a person to explore the difficult and the unknown, the awkward, and even the unpleasant.
