Philosophical guide to asking good questions

With Socrates on sneakers practical philosopher Elke Wiss tackles the art of a good conversation. In a time where everyone is yelling at each other and opinions are quickly given the same value as facts, the connection is often hard to find. We try to convince the other person that we are right, rather than looking for answers together. As a result, many of our conversations are more like a debate than a dialogue. We'd rather talk than listen, we don't have time for questions. And admitting to not knowing something is certainly not an option. How nice it would be if, at any moment and in any situation, you knew how to ask the exact question that leads to a good conversation?

Socrates on sneakers teaches you the skills needed to ask those questions that surprise and make you think. So that we can have conversations that lead to depth and connection. With others and with yourself.
