Let's Make This More Interesting

The question is more important than the answer (with Warren Berger)

Apr 7, 2025

Warren Berger began exploring how to ask better questions through a journalistic interest in innovation. He’s come to believe the importance of questions is much broader than that, and has come on to champion the development of better questioning skills in everything from education to our personal relationships.

He has written widely on the topic, including ‘A More Beautiful Question: The power of inquiry to spark breakthrough ideas’.


In a discussion of some of his central findings and ideas we talk about:

  • Why the question can be more important than the answer
  • What makes a question dull or interesting
  • How a good question shifts things
  • The power of ‘Questionstorming’
  • How a good question ‘attracts’ answers
  • His three part model to asking better questions
  • Why businesses should think about having Mission Questions, rather than Mission Statements


And the power for all of us in having three big questions that guide our lives.
