What if the questions you fear the most could become your greatest guides? Journalist and applied behavioral scientist Elizabeth Weingarten joins Behind the Human to unpack the profound power of questions. From questioning her marriage and career to navigating new motherhood, Elizabeth shares how embracing life's unanswerable questions has transformed her world. We explore her new book How to Fall in Love with Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty and dive into the frameworks, stories, and personal practices that help us all sit with uncertainty, reframe stuckness, and find clarity amidst the chaos. Whether you’re facing a major life decision or simply feeling overwhelmed, this episode offers a radically compassionate lens on how to use curiosity, reflection, and even slowness as a way forward.
