The Book of Beautiful Questions: The Powerful Questions That Will Help You Decide, Create, Connect, and Lead

by Warren Berger

I used reverse engineering in many cases. For example, as I identified a common problem or pitfall in, say, decision-making, my challenge was to then construct a question or series of questions that might help someone avoid that particular pitfall when making decisions in the future.

To me, any question that causes people to shift their thinking is a beautiful one. These questions are intended to do that—to remind you to slow down and think more, to broaden your perspective, to see past biases, creative blocks, and emotional reactions.
