Love the concepts in this book and the skills I learned. Found the story really irritating and hard to get through- it's written in a really contrived way.

Very little meat surrounded by fluff. Could use work.

I’ve had this book on my to read list for some time now as I really enjoyed a webinar with the author. I really like the approach and will try to use this in my work. Appreciated all the example questions and the practical workbook at the end.

I always feel that books like this could be half as long…

Written almost as a parable, the lesson of this story is to let go of the need to judge ourselves and others and begin to operate as a learner, making more thoughtful choices. The idea is that by asking simple but powerful questions we can open up new possibilities and improve the way we get along with our colleagues in the workplace, and our relationships at home too.
Seems obvious, and yet it is so easy to forget.
This book fits in well with a living in the moment, letting go of ego, approach to life.
It would be a good choice for a workplace book group.
It's always interesting to me how books on parenting and workplace relationships cross over. It makes sense that they are two of the most challenging settings for our relationship skills.
One interesting tool that I hope to remember from this book is the ABCC acronym, which reminds me of the MindTRACK to Happiness tool from [b:The Happy Mom Handbook|16241453|The Happy Mom Handbook|Jackie Hall|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1355941901s/16241453.jpg|22251773].
ABCC stands for Aware (Am in Judger?) - Breathe (Step back) - Curiosity (Do I have all the facts?) - Choose (What's my choice).
Good to remember when problems arise.

felt that this one could have been a nice, concise podcast episode.
"Change Your Questions, Change Your Life" by Marilee Adams is a non-fiction fiction. Lots of little takeaway moments woven through narrative instead of the typical business book style teaching.
the book emphasizes the power of inquiry in personal & professional growth. Learning to ask questions instead of constantly providing answers can help you progress in work, relationships & leadership.
