Discover how the questions we ask ourselves and others can either expand our mindsets and open us up to exciting new possibilities or constrict our mindsets and limit our choices for successful change.
When we're looking for answers, we often forget to take the time to ask the right questions. But, as Marilee Adams shows, intentionally using questions helps us make wiser choices, find solutions, and transform our personal and professional lives.
Drawing on decades of research and experience as a coach and consultant, Adams uses a highly interesting and entertaining fable that illustrates how to recognize and reframe undermining questions to ones that open us to learning, connection, and success. Asking "What great things could happen today?" creates very different expectations than asking "What could go wrong today?"
Change Your Questions, Change Your Life is an international bestseller with over 400,000 copies sold. This revised edition contains many of the elements that made the previous editions a success, including the Choice Map and Learner/Judger mindsets, along with new neuroscience research.

Review quote
“Marilee's writings are by far the most profound articulation of the power of the question that I've come across. It's true: we live in worlds our questions create.”
-David Cooperrider, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University, and founder of the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit
“When we change our questions, we open our minds and our consciousness expands. This book is a masterful volume designed for those who wish to be fully alive.”
-Robert E. Quinn, cofounder of the Center for Positive Organizations, University of Michigan, and coauthor of The Economics of Higher Purpose
“Our complex world demands that we ask different questions, but the power of habit throws us into the Judger Pit. Dr. Adams shows us how to get out of the Judger Pit and stay out-and how to improve our relationships, our work, and our lives with a new mindset that offers more helpful questions.”
-Jennifer Garvey Berger, EdD, author of Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps
“As a fellow champion of the power of questioning, I consider Marilee Adams to be one of the pioneers in this field. The storytelling format of Change Your Questions makes the book a breeze to read while the Question Thinking Users Guide shows how practical her work really is.”
-Warren Berger, author of A More Beautiful Question
