A More Beautiful Question by the book

People are born to inquire and to discover. Between two to five years old a child asks 40,000 questions.

Then we are taught to stop asking, stop seeking, and stop inquiring.

From the board room to a bored room, there is much to gain from Warren Berger’s new book, A More Beautiful Question.
