You can spend years trying to solve a problem that disappears the moment you ask a better question.

Consider how often we confuse being certain that something is wrong with being certain about what is wrong.

Someone is unhappy at work and asks whether to change professions or employers. Someone knows exactly what they should do but continues behaving the same way. Someone feels perfectly secure alone but begins questioning their worth around other people.

Different circumstances. But the questions themselves contain assumptions that may never have been examined. And if the assumption is wrong, even a perfectly reasonable answer can send you in the wrong direction.

On friday, I asked my audience what they would want to discuss if we had an hour together. I received close to 1,000 responses.

When I removed the individual circumstances, I found that many of the questions were variations of a much smaller number of underlying problems.

So I selected six and recorded an investigation into how I would approach them.

The point isn't necessarily to answer those six questions. It's to demonstrate a way of thinking that you can apply to your own circumstances, without needing someone else to interpret your life for you.

Sometimes the answer changes when you examine the question.

Sometimes the question disappears altogether.

I hope you find something useful in it.

Stay curious,
