Based on the wildly popular commencement address, the art of asking (and answering) good questions by the Dean of Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education.
Whether we’re in the boardroom or the classroom, we spend far too much time and energy looking for the right answer. However, questions are often just as important and even more important than answers. If you ask the wrong question, for instance, you’re guaranteed to get the wrong answer. A good question inspires a good response and invites deeper understanding. To ask a great question, we must go beyond what we think we know. We need to be open to the unknown, the uncomfortable, and the unfavorable.
In Wait, What?, Jim Ryan, dean of Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education, celebrates the art of asking—and answering—good questions. Five questions, in particular: Wait…?; I wonder…?Couldn’t we at least…?; I need your help.; And What is the most important? Using examples from politics, history, popular culture, and social movements, as well as his own personal life, Ryan demonstrates how these essential inquiries generate understanding, spark curiosity, initiate progress, fortify relationships, and draw our attention to the important things in life—from the Supreme Court to Fenway Park. By regularly asking these five essential questions, Ryan promises, we will be better able to answer life’s most important question: “And did you get what you wanted out of life, even so?” Wait, What? is a hilarious, illuminating and poignant book that’s both surprising and funny. Wait, What? is an inspirational book of wisdom that will forever alter the way you look at questions.
