A friend sends me a professor’s list of favorite questions to ask people. I printed out several pages of his questions and picked my top 10:
- What’s the best thing a teacher ever did for you?
- What movie scene stays most vividly in your memory?
- When do you need reminding?
- If you were to start a podcast this year, what would be its focus?
- If you designed the perfect backyard, what would you put there?
- What’s one form of courtesy that really matters to you?
- What ritual helps you?
- What do you need most from people when you’re sad?
- What do you do when you are bored?
- When has an encounter with a stranger been a gift to you?
Enjoy these questions!
