It's similar to what you're saying here about asking questions such as "What in my life makes me feel happy right now?" and "What am I truly grateful for?" The book is "What Happy People Know" by Dan Baker. For the appreciation audit, he suggest picking one thing you appreciate about your life and dwell on it for at least 5 minutes. Also he suggests coming up with top 5 lists - so top 5 experiences you've ever had, top 5 places you've ever been, etc. Great stuff! Johnathan,

Imagine the impact when we learn how to ask in a way that empowers us.

Also, adding in the positive assumptions makes all the difference in the world. This series has been awesome!

There are no bad answers to an empowering question (e.g. how can I improve my life today?) and no good answers to a disempowering question (e.g. why am I such a loser?). So one must learn how to always ask empowering questions. A great topic for discussion; thanks Riley Riley Harrison´s last amazing blog post ..<a href="http://www.getting-unstuck.com/just-who-the-hell-do-you-think-you-are/just-who-the-hell-do-you-think-you-are/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE</a> Hi Jonathan,

This is one of those subjects that has managed to hold my attention for many years because there are so many great ways to use questions. They can trigger such a wide variety of responses.

I personally have found it to be very interesting & revealing. Asking the right questions and HOW to ask the right questions is a very positive way to live your day. I must admit to being a little slow in the morn so I tend to be a bit short on the q's then. I gather pace during the day though. Your 5 questions in the opening section of the post are certainly benchmark questions for all to follow. Be good to yourself David Hi Jonathan,
