Reviews of Jeff Lerner on Quora
Quora is an American site meant for question-answering sessions about different concepts, persons, or organizations. Moreover, this platform is also used for posting reviews about persons and corporations. Jeff Lerner has also rocked this floor when talking about entrepreneurship. Here is a glimpse of reviews from Quora.
I'd like to close the year by defining our goal:
Quora's purpose is to spread and expand the knowledge of people around the world.
The majority of knowledge in the human race is still not accessible via the internet. The majority of it is as experience inside people's heads or in documents and books that only experts are able to access. This means that the majority of people aren't equipped with the information they ought to, and don't necessarily have time, resources or the skills to gain access to the information they should be able to have in a perfect world.
The Internet was intended to let anyone make a web site and communicate their expertise to the world. In reality, however, it's complex and time-consuming and nearly no one even can do it. Blogs aren't difficult to start however, unless the person who writes them is well-known, it can take many years to establish an audience. More than a billion users access the internet, yet only a small percentage contribute to the knowledge.
Quora is designed to enable users to share their knowledge , and through this process, increase the amount of information available to people around the world. As we expand as a company, we'll be able to offer larger and bigger audiences for authors, address more and different topics, and create more and more impact around the world.
We would like to become an online Library of Alexandria, a website where hundreds of millions of users can learn about everything and share their knowledge. In order to achieve that, we're going to need to grow. The current version of Quora is mostly questions and answers, however this isn't the best format for all information. Other formats will be added as we grow.
The entire process will be informed by our purpose.

A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas Paperback – September 13, 2016
by Warren Berger (Author)
For a perfect answer, it is necessary to ask the right question. Warren Berger revives the lost art of asking questions.
In this book that is groundbreaking the journalist and expert in innovation Warren Berger shows that one of the most powerful factors to spark change in the workplace and our everyday life is a basic and under-appreciated resource which has been around to our children since childhood. The act of asking questions questions -asking questionsdeeply creatively "beautifully"--can assist us to identify and address issues and develop game-changing concepts and explore new opportunities. Why are we so not willing to think about "Why?"
Berger's findings are shocking and reveal that, despite children starting with hundreds of questions each day, their curiosity "falls off a cliff" when kids start the school. In a business and education culture designed to reward repetitive answers, rather than challenging questions the practice of asking questions isn't embraced. In in reality, it's not even accepted.
Yet according to research by Berger points out that the most inventive and successful people are skilled questioners. They've perfected the art of questioning and asking questions that nobody else is asking and coming up with powerful solutions. Author takes us into the hot enterprises such as Google, Netflix, IDEO and Airbnb to illustrate how questioning is a part of their DNA. He also shares inspirational stories of teachers, artists entrepreneurs, business owners, basement builders and even social change-makers who transformed life and their communities around them by beginning with an "beautiful question."
Questions Are Far More Valuable Than Answers
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2018
I first heard Warren Berger on The Knowledge Project podcast, then purchased this book in an effort to improve my own questioning ability. While it is a great resource for asking better questions, this book offers so much more than that. It's an insightful look into the role of inquiry in modern life. Berger suggests that as the world becomes more complex and dynamic, questions become more valuable than answers. He offers a framework to formulate and ask better questions. But he also digs deeper into topics such as the age of adaptation, design thinking, our education system, and the reasons people avoid fundamental questioning. As an added bonus, there are some brilliant questions Berger challenges us to consider for ourselves along the way.

A world teeming with answers, requires More Beautiful Questions
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018
This was a refreshing, powerful read that lingered in my mind. And every conversation I had for a long time after. I have recommended it to many friends and strangers. Am considering ordering a stack and handing them out. Is like an antidote to the lobbing of opinions, tirades, emotional appeals, soundbites, and status quo found in our discourses national, local, online, and perhaps at the dinner table.
Is not just a book about change for change's sake, either. Revolution minus reason is not the goal. Innovation requires perseverance, personal motivation, and a specific need. Questions.
This book is great for high schoolers, college students, adults, innovators, mechanics, doctors, teachers, administrators, lawyers, janitors, jailers, pilots, housewives, politicians, clergy, nurses, therapists, zoo keepers, authors, artists, tv producers, scientists, secretaries, salesman, farmers, grandparents, godparents, new parents, never parents, and in a nutshell: any person who thinks, wonders, acts, and lives on this planet.
Might be interesting as a book club read. Certainly good as a book re-read. Am off to pick it up again. Am eager to re-read the narrative of the man whose personal "why" transformed the world of prosthetics. One of many Beautiful questions.

This is my second book I read from Warren, (I read the book of beautiful questions first)---and sure was as interesting as the first one...did not disappoint at all. It is good to know why we are as we are and why it is we really do not like to ask questions...Sadly, if we don't do it, we will never get good at it...so that we can start generating beautiful questions.
However, he is giving us plenty to work with so that we too, could start creating our own beautiful questions, at home, at school, at work or wherever we may be.
I too agree with many readers--these books from Warren--about questions and the habit of questioning, should be mandatory at all schools--I dare to say, from grade school all the way up to PHD level. God knows we need it. It will help us tremendously if we do so--in all cultures/countries. Get this book and read it--you will love it. I sure did.
By the way--Amazon always comes through great on all my orders--and this time was no exception--Received used book in excellent condition, thank you Amazon.

An Inspiring Look At Inquiry Leading To Innovation
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016
I recently attended an excellent seminar for senior executives called "Authentic Leadership." The facilitator of my small group had some encouraging things to say about the way that I frame questions. He then added: "I think that you would enjoy reading 'A More Beautiful Question.'" At his urging, I ordered the book and found that he was correct in his prognostication. I found this book to be intriguing and inspiring.
Using some excellent cases to illustrate principles, author Warren Berger discusses "The Power of Inquiry To Spark Breakthrough Ideas." He quotes liberally from such icons of innovation as Joichi Ito of the MIT Media Lab, David Kelly of IDEO, and Clayton Christensen of Harvard Business School. My office is contained within a hub of innovation, the Cambridge Innovation Center ,on the campus of MIT, so I am always intrigued to learn new lessons about innovation and the things that may spark it.
One of the threads that weaves itself throughout this book is the fact that children are natural questioners. It is only as we grow older that we tend to squelch our innate propensity to ask questions in order to better understand ourselves and the world around us. In this book, Mr. Berger offers many examples of individuals and companies that he re-learned the art of asking great questions.
I was intrigued to learn that Edwin Land, the father of instant photography, was prompted to develop this technology when his young daughter innocently asked him why they had to wait to see a photograph that he had taken when they were on vacation as a family.
He makes specific suggestions, based on research done at the Right Question Institute, regarding how to frame appropriate questions at each stage of a process of exploration, discovery and innovation. One insight that stood out for me was the use of terminology that is useful in a group setting that disarms defensive posture on the part of those participating in the conversation. The form of the question that often provokes healthy discussion is to ask: "How might we . . . .?" He also describes the technique that has worked for many companies of replacing "brainstorming" with "question storming."
His final challenge which he poses in the final chapter of the book, is to ask how each individual might frame "a more beautiful question" that frames and sparks inquiry and endeavors to provide meaning and purpose for the rest of one's life. Inspiring!

Excellent Book About the Question Process
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2014
Don't think it really occurred to me that that there was a process to questions. That there is a progression from why to what if to how. That things don't work so well if you go straight to the how.
I have had it in my head that I am not supposed to ask why questions. That this supposedly gets you stuck in the past, on who is to blame, on explanations. But when you ask, "why am I doing this? " you are really looking for intention. So I have put back "why" into my toolbox after reading this book.
Another useful thing was the discussion about how business sees asking questions as a waste of time and a distraction from acting. I have not been a fan of the old "just do it" thing and this reinforced why I am uncomfortable with it. A quote from some other book - "action without strategy is stupid!"
So overall a very powerful and practical book. No academic ivory tower "let's just sit here and theorise and make our selves sound smart by asking lots of questions" type of stuff.

A More Beautiful Question is a thought, idea, and question provoking book.
Warren Berger masterfully has written about the power of inquiry. He dissects it from multiple perspectives with many examples and resources. It gets your head spinning with questions about all aspects of life.

As a blogger and a coach, I read A LOT of nonfiction. This book should be required reading for anyone interested in thinking better or more creatively about complex problems. You can't get the right solution if you don't ask the right question. This book will help you do that. It was also well-written and a fun read--I particularly liked the examples of people who had done great things just by asking different questions. Can't recommend this book enough!

This book changed the way I practice law
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2020
Lawyers are expected to have answers. After reading this book, I realized that I had fallen into a pattern of providing answers based on assumptions or past experiences. When I flipped my approach to asking questions - a "questions first" approach - especially during initial consultations, I discovered that I was able to better understand my clients' concerns, anxieties, and objectives. I was able to provide the answers they were seeking and better tailor my services to their needs. Adopting a "question first" approach with opposing counsel has also helped me negotiate more creative outcomes to problems that many might have assumed were impossible to resolve without a lawsuit. I appreciate the way in which the ideas in this book have changed me, the relationships I have with others, and the way I approach problem-solving.

I balked at first when Adam Grant, the amazing author of Give & Take, recommended I read "A More Beautiful Question." After all, I thought, "Doesn't a book about asking questions seem obvious?" But, I was so wrong. I first listened to the book on Audible. It was so insightful that I then ordered the physical book so I could re-read it, take notes, and underline. This is easily one of my favorite books of all time and an essential read for any business leader. The most powerful question that I took away is "How might we...?" Seems simple but you have to read the book to find out what that questions works the way it does. Finally, this book is well researched, well structured, and well written/edited. Bravo!

I learned so much about my own ability to question things. I was struggling to even to the 3rd question of the "5 why methodology" loool. There is no one way to question a thing but in an answer driven society, the people who question things are always seen as troublemakers. I really like how the author also shared his sources.

A thoughtful book that changed the way I think and question
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020
The first half of this book is amazing.
The why, what if, how, model has changed the way I contemplate questions and I find I explore questions this way often now. For this alone the book had quite an impact on me.
The second half of the book although interesting and thought provoking I felt dragged on.
Still worth a 5 star rating for the way this book has changed the way I question.
Although I feel it could have been shorter
Outstanding Book! It gets your questioning attitude turned on.

I listened to the book on Audible and just had to buy a copy to read and mark up for my own use. This book did a great job at getting me to start thinking and questioning again.

The author emphasises an important point - the importance of asking questions. Lots of great achievements started with a beautiful question. Good question can help one stay focused, e.g. what's the sentence of your life? Also we should nurture the inquisitiveness of our children, welcome them to ask more questions instead of discouraging them. This book provides lots of great questions we can ask ourselves regards to career and life, I highly recommend it.
A Simple Idea with Profound Implications Nicely Done
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2014
After reading Glimmer, Warren Berger's 2009 book looking at designers and design thinking, I became a fan of sorts and pre-ordered A More Beautiful Question anticipating something good as a follow-up. I wasn't disappointed. Like Glimmer -- and perhaps design thinking -- Berger takes both a deep dive and a broad stroke over his subject matter. This is tough to do well, but Berger pulls it off.
There is something delightful about looking at something that seems so obvious and simple, but is far from simplistic, in detail. Berger goes through the vast swaths of research and evidence on question formation and innovation and blends it seamlessly with anecdotes, observations and questions...lots and lots of questions. To 'live the title' of the book, the text is organized around questions and, at least with the Kindle, the questions are hyperlinked to explanations at the back about their origin and relevance. This feature was wonderful and frustrating -- but largely due to technology. I read using a Nexus tablet, but my preferred reader is the original Kindle. On that latter device, the linking becomes a frustration in that it is sometimes hard to get back to your place. But that's a small point.
Berger's style of writing is engaging, balancing conciseness with informality, and using enough revisiting of ideas in different places in the text to thread ideas throughout the narrative, but not too much to feel repetitive. I loved this just as I loved Glimmer.
What a reader will take from this is that questions are important, that the best (and most consistent) innovators, leaders and scientists are typically great at asking questions and not just providing answers. Indeed, Berger makes the case that the question and answer are inextricably linked showing dozens of examples of how the habits of questioning lead to exciting outcomes. He also offers a challenge to anyone involved in education -- which, he'd argue is nearly everyone in this age of change and ongoing learning -- to examine how questions are encouraged and discouraged to shun curiosity. This has enormous implications and, as we see, gets replicated in our businesses and other organizations.
If this book does anything for you I hope it gets you to ask better questions and enjoy not always having answers. Taken to heart, the message of paying attention to the questions -- living the questions if you will -- is one that may have profound consequences on your life, work, and learning.

Quick read but takes time to think about the questions
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2016
A More Beautiful Question is relevant to a wide range of audiences; from innovation to business strategy to personal life. The book itself is a quick read - just 200 pages and easy text - but it takes longer to sink in. The questions - and there are many - deserve time to be thought through, whatever your situation.
While there are some "how to"-elements to the book, it's more inspirational and insightful - and will definitely make you think.

A valuable resource, both personally & professionally
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014
This book is one of several in recent years that focuses on the topic of questions. Ken Coleman's book "One Question", comes to mind. As does Peter Drucker's statement "The best consultants don't know all the answers. They simply ask great questions." This book explains how to formulate great questions.
I made listed three pages of notes to myself while reading this book. Here are some of those notes:
1. Questions open the door, answers close them.
2. Somehow our culture or educational system converts pre-K kids who ask 100+ questions per day to zero questions from middle school kids.
3. Typically teachers ask the questions. Innovative teachers have the students pose the questions. Page 65 shows how.
4. Pandora maps the DNA of music. What a wonderful way of explaining this app.
5. Most good companies are born to answer a question or solve a problem.
6. Page 151 challenges us to "find your tennis ball", i.e, something you are willing to endlessly chase.
7. Should we retire retirement? A great question that I have answered "Yes".

Occasionally a book opens your eyes so you will never see the world in the same way. That's been my experience with A More Beautiful Question. As a creativity coach and facilitator, I know the power of questions to engage individuals and groups in creative problem solving...so why wasn't I employing that same power for me? The notion of turning my life purpose and business mission from declarations into inquiries, for instance, is one of the insights from this book that immediately enlarged my thinking. I realized that by believing I already had those answers, I was prematurely limiting my opportunities. The simple act of shifting from a certainty mindset to one that continually evokes curiosity and creativity can enhance everything I create moving forward. Thank you, Warren Berger, for this and other powerful insights and for fostering in me this new ease of inquiry to benefit all areas of my life. I highly recommend this book to anyone ready to open themselves and their businesses up to new possibilities.

The art of inquiry is an art that needs to be developed. We live in a culture where there is an emphasis on "telling". That creates all kinds of problems, not the least of which is that people don't want to be "told". Instead, asking is so much more respectful and leads to insights we couldn't imagine. We miss so much when we don't think to ask. A More Beautiful Question is an inspiring read.

this is a very well written and timely book. I particularly like the thesis that we look for answers rather than questions. The question is more cogent to solving many problems. These examples of beautiful questions are well described.
It is helpful to look back on our own actions to see if we are asking the beautiful questions

I teach advertising and branding. It is a challenge to find a book to use to help students understand the thought process of innovation and creativity. In addition, it is sometimes hard to persuade students to engage with text. I have been using A More Beautiful Question for the last year. Not only is Warren's book helpful in the classroom as a learning tool, it sparks interesting discussions with the students about their life, their education and their future.

Lively, accessible, informative. Ignore that one-star review: if you like the first chapter, you will love the book as a whole.
