Ask Better
Questions

The fastest way to better conversations and clearer thinking
the quality of your questions sets the ceiling on the quality of your life.
The Protocol · 5 steps
1
Go open, not yes/no
swap “good week?” for “what was the best part of your week?”
2
Ask the second question
the first answer is the surface. “say more” is where it starts.
3
Get specific
“what are you working on?” beats “how are you?”
4
Ask about feeling, not just fact
“how did that land for you?” invites the human.
5
Then shut up and listen
a great question is wasted if you're loading your reply.
Run it: in your next chat, ask one follow-up question before you say anything about yourself.
“you can't out-answer a good question. you can only sit in it.”
TL;DR   open → deeper → specific → felt → listen
