A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas by Warren Berger

5.0

What Robert Burton calls "certainty epidemic" is the moment when you become too familiar with something and overestimate your knowledge, putting too much faith in your gut instinct, walking around convinced you have more answers than you actually do and for this reason your most likely to ask less questions.
How might you change this you're wondering? Reading this book is a great start. You'll learn about the importance of taking a step back. It may seem unusual, but you'll gain more from taking a step back in order to move forward. You need to stop from "doing" and "knowing" in order to find something new, as Jon Seely Brown said "in order for imagination to flourish, there must be an opportunity to see things as other than they currently are or appear to be".
Then start with simple questions: Why? What if? How?
