Don't just ask a question. Start a conversation.
Curious Habit started with an ambition: to always be ready for an interesting conversation with anyone.
It works at dinner, where "how was your day" meets "fine" and stops. It also works in the car, in a waiting room, or with people you have just met. No question here will ask you to describe the last time you cried.
We write questions for real conversation, the kind that starts small and ends up mattering. A question passed across the table. A prompt before bed. A moment to ask what someone actually thinks, and to find out you want to know.
Most conversation questions are written for one kind of room. Ours are written for the whole table, so a ten year old and a grandparent can both find something to say. Each one pairs a short idea with a question, because a question lands better when everyone starts from the same place.
Subscribe for free questions a few times a week. Or put the phone down and get the book: fifty-two conversations, built for the year.
The habit is simple. Ask a good question. Listen to the answer.
