The document discusses different types of questions that can help people learn and understand themselves and others better. It describes judgmental questions, which are asked to accuse, questions to learn, which are asked to gain information without accusation, questions to teach, which are intentionally asked to help someone discover their own answer, and questions to explore, which are asked with no agenda but with love to help someone discover an internal answer about themselves. The document advocates asking better questions as a way to make a substantial difference in other people's lives.

1. The Life-Changing Habit of
Asking Better Questions
@habitsguy

2. “Thinking is just the process
of asking and answering
questions.”
- Tony Robbins

3. This message encapsulates a good
deal of the value in asking
questions.

4. But we pay very
little attention
to questions
specifically
designed to
help someone
understand
their internal
landscape.

5. Learn more about yourself and
others by asking better questions.

6. 1 Judgmental
Questions

7. The purpose
behind the
question is
to accuse.

8. While the
intonation of a
phrase will imply
a question, tone
and attitude
might express
outrage or
scorn.

9. Judgmental questions are
useful to recognize because
we do ask them regularly,
and often without realizing it.

10. 2 Questions
to Learn

11. The primary drive
behind these
questions is to
gain new
information: learn
why something has
happened or why
someone behaved
in a specific way.

12. These questions
are directive,
with a very clear
intent from the
questioner, but
they need not be
accusatory.

13. Questions to learn are a very
useful form of questioning,
whether you are the one asking
or the subject of the inquisition.

14. 3 Questions
to Teach

15. These questions are
usually intentionally
asked, resulting
from the questioner
considering the
impact of their
question on their
audience.

16. They are by far the
most effective
method of helping
another individual
uncover a
specific answer
or outcome.

17. By leaving “bread crumbs” a
teacher is able to help a student to
discover their own answer.

18. 4 Questions
to Explore

19. These are
asked with no
agenda but
with love.

20. These are rare
because they are
non-directive and
accepting.

21. Loving questions provide the person
being asked the opportunity to
discover an internal answer about
themselves and the invitation to fully
accept themselves in that moment.

22. All of us have the ability to connect
with other people, intimately and
lovingly, just by listening and
asking questions.

23. Simply by attending to the
questions we ask, we can make a
substantial difference in another
person’s life.

25. Robin Zander is an
educator and strategist.
He writes about the
learning process, trains
clients around the
world, and dances
ballet in San Francisco.
