{"product_id":"9781632861054","title":"A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this groundbreaking book, journalist and innovation expert Warren Berger shows that one of the most powerful forces for igniting change in business and in our daily lives is a simple, under-appreciated tool--one that has been available to us since childhood. \u003cb\u003eQuestioning--\u003c\/b\u003edeeply, imaginatively, \"beautifully\"--can help us identify and solve problems, come up with game-changing ideas, and pursue fresh opportunities. So why are we often reluctant to ask \"Why?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBerger's surprising findings reveal that even though children start out asking hundreds of questions a day, questioning \"falls off a cliff\" as kids enter school. In an education and business culture devised to reward rote answers over challenging inquiry, questioning isn't encouraged--and, in fact, is sometimes barely tolerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, as Berger shows, the most creative, successful people tend to be expert questioners. They've mastered the art of inquiry, raising questions no one else is asking--and finding powerful answers. The author takes us inside red-hot businesses like \u003cb\u003eGoogle, Netflix, IDEO\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eAirbnb\u003c\/b\u003e to show how questioning is baked into their organizational DNA.
