A More Beautiful Question

The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas

De: Warren Berger

Narrado por: Dale Nichols

Bloomsbury presents A More Beautiful Question by Warren Berger, read by Dale Nichols.

To get the best answer—in business, in life—you have to ask the best possible question. Innovation expert Warren Berger shows that ability is both an art and a science.

It may be the most underappreciated tool at our disposal, one we learn to use well in infancy—and then abandon as we grow older. Critical to learning, innovation, success, even to happiness—yet often discouraged in our schools and workplaces—it can unlock new business opportunities and reinvent industries, spark creative insights at many levels, and provide a transformative new outlook on life. It is the ability to question—and to do so deeply, imaginatively, and “beautifully.”

In this fascinating exploration of the surprising power of questioning, innovation expert Warren Berger reveals that powerhouse businesses like Google, Nike, and Netflix, as well as hot Silicon Valley startups like Pandora and Airbnb, are fueled by the ability to ask fundamental, game-changing questions. But Berger also shares human stories of people using questioning to solve everyday problems—from “How can I adapt my career in a time of constant change?” to “How can I step back from the daily rush and figure out what really makes me happy?”

By showing how to approach questioning with an open, curious mind and a willingness to work through a series of “Why,” “What if,” and “How” queries, Berger offers an inspiring framework of how we can all arrive at better solutions, fresh possibilities, and greater success in business and life.

Good stuff

Draws lots of points from famous people/companies you may or may not have heard of. Structured very well. I wish it gave more chances for self reflection rather than just telling the reader what questions to ask themself.

Very helpful and interesting

I really enjoyed listening to the stories and learning about how to communicate better through questions. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to better connect with other human beings.

Stay curious

Excellent listen. Highly recommended for curious minds and those looking to formulate better questions to achieve the best answers and outcomes possible.

Slower build but fantastic finish

Overall was a great one. Just when I started having concerns it picked back up and was gem after gem after gem. Probably one to listen to a couple times.

Inspiring and thought provoking

I liked the examples shared and have started asking myself more questions to enrich my life. The exercise of simply writing questions was powerful.

Amazing book

Now I get to see the world with different lenses. I am an educator and forever an inquirer, I have learned tools to help me teach and learn more effectively.

Great insights and suggestions

Great topic and helpful suggestions for everyone and everyday use. Very insightful and useful. Helps in everyday life and in professional life

Thoughtful book

Great book on asking questions. I like the concept of the book but I don’t know if I can relate to everything written.
