While it’s often said we are a storytelling species, the deeper and more enabling truth is that we are a questioning species. Questions give life to our curiosity. They fuel our personal growth. We problem solve and innovate through them. They’re how we find meaning and come to grasp why we matter.
This is a book about your vital capacity to question. It’s about coming to understand who you are while guiding you to arrive at something better still—for you and for us all. Great Question is your yield guide. It shows you how to master the art of the ask and empowers you to define, shape, and realize your own unique return on anything—including in your life.
The lessons at the core of Great Question are nothing short of the key to thriving in a deeply uncertain world. They enable the fundamental mindshift we need to make, right now—not just in how we ask, but in how we adapt, achieve, and advance..
Praise for Great Question …
“Robertson is a rare thinker who understands that progress—personal and collective—begins not with answers imposed, but with questions courageously owned. This is an essential book for anyone committed to shaping their life, work, and world intentionally, in no small way because Larry Robertson doesn’t just teach how to ask better questions—he shows why doing so is an act of responsibility.”
Rajshree Agarwal, Founding Director, Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets, University ofMaryland
“This book helps illustrate why well-posed questions—and a critical questioning of what we take most for granted about the world we share—are as vital and empowering as whatever consensus we think we have on our answers to them. Great Question is a worthy read.”
John L. Jackson, Jr., Provost, University of Pennsylvania
“Great Question is more than a guide to the art of asking; it’s a powerful reminder that to question is to be human. Larry Robertson shows how the right question isn’t a tool, but a bridge to connection and deeper self-awareness. This book is an essential guide. With it, you will never look at questions the same way.”
Virginie Helias, Chief Sustainability Officer, Procter & Gamble
“Ours is an increasingly puzzling world. And while most of us are scanning the landscape for answers, Larry Robertson is one of the few who has turned the telescope around to focus on finding the great questions. This book is a rich harvest of provocation that is guaranteed to spark your curiosity. A must for the creative seeker inside you. And if you’re suffering certainty, read on.”
