Скачать или смотреть Elizabeth Weingarten and Heather Havrilesky - How to Fall in Love with Questions

What do you do when faced with a big, important question that keeps you up at night? Many people, understandably, seize answers dispensed by “experts,” influencers, gurus, and more. But these fast, easy, one-size-fits-all solutions often fail to satisfy, and can even cause more pain.

What if our questions—the ones we ask about relationships, work, meaning, identity, and purpose—are not our tormentors, but our teachers? Inspired by 150-year-old advice from Austrian poet Rainier Maria Rilke and backed by contemporary science, Elizabeth Weingarten’s new book, "How to Fall in Love with Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty," offers a fresh approach for dealing with these seemingly unsolvable questions. In her quest, Weingarten shares her own journey and the stories of many others, whose lives have transformed through a different, and better, relationship with uncertainty.

Designed to inspire anyone who feels stuck, powerless, and drained, "How to Fall in Love with Questions" challenges us to unlock our minds and embark on the kind of self-discovery that’s only possible when we feel most alive—that is, when we don’t know what will happen next.

Weingarten is a journalist and applied behavioral scientist who works at the intersection of science and storytelling. A graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and New Trier High School, she has worked on the editorial staffs of The Atlantic, Slate, and Qatar Today, and was managing editor of Behavioral Scientist.

Weingarten will be in conversation with Heather Havrilesky (FAN ’18, ’22), writer of the popular "Ask Polly" advice column on Substack and is the author of "Foreverland," "What If This Were Enough?," "How to Be a Person in the World," and "Disaster Preparedness."
