In a time when everyone trumpets over each other and opinions are quickly assigned the same value as facts, connection is often hard to find. Many of our conversations are more of a debate than a dialogue. We would rather speak than listen, we do not have time to ask questions. Drawing inspiration from Socrates and other philosophers, Elke Wiss shows us why we are so bad at asking good questions, and how we can become better at it.
