Product Description
'Q is one of those rare books that hands you back a capability you didn't realise you'd lost' DANIEL H. PINK
'Wonderful ... Immensely entertaining and compelling' SPECTATOR
Our lives are shaped by questions: they are how we connect, persuade and flourish. But we live in a world that wants answers.
Questions are engines of learning, catalysts for connection, and drivers of change. They direct our attention and make us feel closer to loved ones and strangers alike. In fact, we are the only species that truly asks questions of one another.
But school trains us to answer, not ask. Workplaces reinforce that, and technology feeds us solutions before we ve described the problem. The result is that we live in an answer-rich, question-poor world. Yet, from doctors surgeries to courtrooms to dating, the ability to ask questions determines our experiences. In a world obsessed by answers, asking better questions is powerful.
Q takes us on a transformative journey into the art and science of questioning and will shift your perspective on the world. In a captivating narrative from the death of Socrates to the age of AI, Lani Watson draws on research in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience to show how questions play a vital role in our individual lives and in our shared human story.
Q will make you think about the questions you ask and the ones you don t. It is a life-enhancing invitation to harness the hidden power of our most underappreciated human skill.
'Excellent. Q will alter how you interact with the world' DAVID EDMONDS
'An exhilarating and wise book. This is what philosophy should be fizzing, sparkling and catalytic' CHARLES FOSTER
'By giving us back a simple tool we've had all along, Q empowers us all. This is a book that could change lives' INDIA RAKUSEN
Questions are powerful. They direct our attention and reveal our concerns, shape our conversations and our relationships.
But throughout our lives we are judged and rewarded for the answers we give, not the questions we ask. As a result, this essential human skill is overlooked and underdeveloped. Q reveals how we can understand the power of questions, share it more evenly, and learn to use it personally, socially and professionally.
Lani Watson takes us on a journey from the death of Socrates to the dawn of AI, drawing on research in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience to show how questions play a vital role in each of our individual lives and in our shared human story. We see how infants begin questioning before they can speak, how questions activate the brain s reward systems and prime us to learn, and how we are the only species that truly asks questions of one another.
At school, though, we learn to stop asking questions. The cost can be seen all around us, as the ability to ask questions determines our experiences and our interactions everywhere from courtrooms to offices, therapy rooms to hospital wards, and in our closest relationships.
In a world rushing towards answers, Q shows us how deeply questions matter, how we can develop a questioning mindset and what we stand to gain. It is revelatory and life-enhancing an invitation to recognise our most underappreciated human capacity and harness its hidden power.
