Elizabeth Weingarten, a journalist and applied behavioral scientist, shares her journey through the labyrinth of life's uncertainties in our latest episode. As she faced personal challenges in her marriage and career, she found solace and guidance not in conventional advice, but in the words of Rainer Maria Rilke's "Letters to a Young Poet." Elizabeth's new book, "How to Fall in Love with Questions," is a testament to the power of thoughtful inquiry in an uncertain world. She unveils how embracing questions, rather than fearing them, can lead to personal growth and deeper connections.

This episode also tackles the importance of resisting the constant pull of technology for quick answers and instead invites listeners to build resilience by living with uncertainty in everyday situations. By nurturing this practice, we discover how to manage life's bigger, more ambiguous questions with courage and self-awareness.

Listeners will find inspiration in creating a "questions practice," an approach that fosters curiosity, conversation, community, and commitment. Learn to transform limiting questions into ones that open possibilities and guide you towards your true desires. With practical examples and strategies, Elizabeth illustrates how open-ended questions can enhance relationships and foster a collaborative spirit, especially within teams. This episode is a call to view uncertainty as an opportunity for growth, to embrace diverse perspectives, and to transform questioning into a powerful tool for personal and professional development.
