Ask a Question

This is a book about questioning methodology, and it is also the hard work of Yang Lan's 30-year media career. Einstein said: "A person's ability to ask questions is more important than his ability to answer." After thirty years of media work experience and twenty-two years of producing "Interviews with Yang Lan", asking questions has not only become Yang Lan's profession, but has even become a way of life. She makes a living by asking questions. What she asks, how she asks, to what extent she asks, the tone and intonation of the question, and the propriety of the question are all closely related to the aesthetic ability of the questioner. Thousands of in-depth interviews and tens of thousands of questions have made her constantly think about how to ask questions effectively. She believes that questioning is the language methodology of cognition and communication. At the same time, asking questions is also a basic ability. The ability of "how to ask questions better" is something that everyone can use. Everyone has the ability to ask questions, and can improve this ability through learning, improve their own cognition and communication quality, and even change the trajectory of life. Learning to ask questions and asking good questions is how we survive in this ever-changing society. Now let's start asking questions.
