Overview
“Q is one of those rare books that hands you back a capability you didn't realize you'd lost.” —Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret
A transformative and philosophical investigation into how we ask questions, full of practical advice on how we can harness the power of questions for ourselves
We live in a world that wants answers. Answers provide solutions to our problems, teach us about the world, and help us navigate our lives. But we rush toward answers forgetting, that it is questions that set the course.
Questions are a form of power, as well as a vital, everyday tool. After all, if you don’t ask the right questions, you won’t get the right answers. In Q, philosopher Lani Watson examines the history of question-asking, analyzes our answer-oriented present, and offers a path forward toward a question-oriented future. Along the way, she asks us to consider what a question is, why we ask the questions we do, when we first start asking questions, and where we want our questions to take us.
The shift from prioritizing answers to focusing on questions is not easy, and it requires careful attention and practice. Q also includes practical tips called Q Tools, inspired by the historical, philosophical, and cultural material of each chapter that offer readers exercises and advice for becoming better question-askers. There are real-world benefits to creating a question-oriented future, and it will require a personal, social, political, philosophical and technological transition. In Q, Lani Watson provides us with the knowledge and tools that we need to implement this change in our own lives and communities.
