We use questions constantly, in our conversations with others and our conversations with ourselves. But we rarely think about how we structure them and, mostly, they go unnoticed. They are such a central part of how we think, act, and communicate that it would be hard to imagine how we could manage without questions. 

Questions are powerful, to be sure, and in all sorts of ways, some unexpected. You might think of them as a grammatical construct designed to elicit information, but not all questions produce equal results. Some can even tie us up in knots, so they can be a powerful waste of time.

We travel through life guided by our questions, so it is a good idea to ask the ones that show us the direction we should be taking. Questions are an essential part of how we think and communicate. Without them, we would be neither able to think straight nor communicate effectively.

In this episode, I mention The Art of the Question by Marilee Goldberg, and my short read. Powerful Questions, on the LiveMore app.
