Gay Hendricks likes to say that “’Why?’ questions will take you straight to7-11.” If we want to reach enlightenment, we’ve gotta get rid of the ‘Why?’ and start asking better questions.

In fact, Gay’s wife Katie teaches that ‘Why?’ questions are processed by a part of your brain that literally encompasses the size of a quarter. That’s it. With a ‘Why?’ question, we simply don’t tap into much of our brain’s creative horsepower.

‘How?’ and ‘What?’ questions? They tap into a much more expansive part of our brains and open up a vast amount of creativity and new neural connections.

So WHY aren’t you asking better questions?!!?

Ahem.

I mean, How can we ask better questions?!? :)
