How to Fall in Love with Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty

Journalist and applied behavioral scientist Elizabeth Weingarten charts a new path to embrace the questions in our lives instead of seeking fast, easy answers.“In a world stupefied by quick fixes and easy answers, Elizabeth Weingarten delivers a smart and urgent wake-up call.”—Daniel H. Pink

What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people, understandably, seize answers dispensed by experts, influencers, gurus, and more. But these fast, easy, one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy and can even cause more pain.What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors but our teachers? Inspired by 150-year-old advice from Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke and backed by contemporary science, Elizabeth Weingarten offers a fresh approach for dealing with these seemingly unsolvable ques- tions. In her quest, Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of many others whose lives have been transformed through a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty.Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, or drained, How to Fall in Love with Questions challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self- discovery that’s only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don’t know what will happen next.
