Questions are powerful. They direct our attention and reveal our concerns, shape our conversations and our relationships.

Questions are so familiar that we rarely pay them any attention. Like breathing, they play a vital role in our lives and yet we are not taught to ask questions; instead, throughout our lives, we are judged by the answers we give. As a result, this essential human skill is often overlooked and almost invariably underdeveloped.

But questions are powerful. They direct the course of a conversation, an interview, a relationship. It is a power that is present in our daily lives and in our social and political institutions.

In Q, Lani Watson reveals how we can all learn to use this power. On a journey that takes us from the death of Socrates to the dawn of AI, she demonstrates that questions have shaped our world in significant and largely unrecognised ways, from the evolution of our species to how we experience the worlds of school and work, to healthcare and law, to our closest relationships.

We live in an answer-oriented world, where the power of questions remains underappreciated, underutilised and unevenly distributed. We can change this by learning to harness the hidden power of questions in our lives, and by working together to build a question-oriented future which is richer and fairer. Q shows us how.

批評家のレビュー

Somewhere along the way, we confused intelligence with knowing answers – and that confusion is holding us back. Lani Watson traces this mistake from the classroom to the boardroom, building a case that is both unsettling and oddly freeing. Q is one of those rare books that hands you back a capability you didn't realize you'd lost (Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and The Power of Regret)
Will you find this book fascinating, thoughtful, enlightening? No question. Q is one of those rare books that alters how you interact with the world – an excellent read (David Edmonds, author of Death in a Shallow Pool)
Why did I enjoy Q so much? For its clarity, curiosity and thought-provoking ideas? Does Socrates live still through Watson and her readers? Might we change ourselves and the world through more and better crafted questions? Read Q and find out (Shami Chakrabarti, author of Human Rights)
By teaching us to value inquiry over certainty, Lani Watson shows us how we can use the radical, transformative potential of questioning. An essential guide for anyone committed to the collective quest for a more just and curious future (Kate Pickett, author of The Good Society)
Humans are constitutionally questioning mammals: to thrive personally, societally and politically we need to interrogate ourselves and our worlds properly. In this exhilarating, humane, rigorous and wise book, Lani Watson exhorts us to act in accordance with our constitution, and shows us how. Q is what philosophy should be - fizzing, sparking and catalytic (Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast)
Powerful and beautifully written, I didn’t want to put Q down: I wanted to absorb all of Lani Watson’s wisdom and run out into the real world and act on it. By giving us back a simple tool we’ve had all along – the tool of questioning – Q empowers us all. This is a book that could change lives (India Rakusen, award-winning presenter, journalist and narrative audio producer)
Answers are only as good as the questions you ask. In fast-moving workplaces fixated on answers and output, Lani Watson helps us harness the power of asking the right questions (Elaine Lin Hering, author of Unlearning Silence)
With Lani Watson as our great and rare guide, Q shows us there is a magic in questions – and, even better, the power behind that magic is easier to tap into than you might think … This is your ‘Q’ to dive in (Larry Robertson, author of Great Question)
In a world saturated with easy answers, Watson celebrates the power of a good question. Every great adventure starts with a question, and this is the book to start us off (Jonny Thomson, author of The Art of Enough and founder of @philosophyminis)
