THE BIG IDEA
A great question doesn’t just change the conversation. It changes the people having it.
We're living in the most answer-rich moment in human history. Ask almost anything and a response arrives in seconds. And yet so much of life still feels like lying awake at 3 a.m. with no name for the stress — or sitting beside someone you love and not saying what's actually true.
A search engine can tell you what's for dinner. It can't tell you who you want to become. In a world that has trained us to consume answers faster than we can absorb them, asking a real question has quietly become an act of courage.

HOW THIS BOOK WORKS
Small enough for a bag, glovebox, or purse, this book belongs wherever people gather: at family dinners, on road trips, on first dates, at team offsites, and in quiet moments alone. Open to any page. Answer honestly. Then, when a question stirs something in you, act on it.
Two parts. One practice: reflection and action.
Not a guide. A practice in courage disguised as a book of questions.
I've read plenty of books about living boldly. This is the first one that actually made me do the thing."

Now Greg and Scott have created 13 braver descendants. Sit down with someone you love, or someone you met an hour ago. Ask the questions in order, alternating. Each one asks a little more of you than the last.
The last one isn't a question at all.
THE STORY BEHIND THE BOOK
For most of my childhood, my family's most important book lived inside my mother's purse. Thirty-six years later, I wrote its sequel — with the man who created it
