Great question provokes profound realizations and actions.
I'm inspired by Patrick Collison's publicly shared list of questions to start my own.
- The ultimate question - What is this reality we are experiencing? Why and how does it exist? Whys is there something instead of nothing?
- How much satisfaction, peace, joy can be achieved from within vs through external means?
- Can you be very ambitious if you are content?
- Can you enjoy or appreciate something without getting attached to it?
- What do we not know for certain but will blow us away?
- Can you experience just joyful emotions if you shut out negative emotions, or do they come as a package?
- What's the best way to measure the health of a society? (GDP seems focused on economic productivity)
- What makes great relationships, both 1:1 and group?
- Can a political system or civilization self-correct without a revolution or decline?
- How do we align businesses to do right for all stakeholders and not just shareholders?
- How can we create more effective and happy organizations and teams?
- What's the best way to coach and grow in the workplace?
