"This little gem of a book is nothing short of magic." —Angela Duckworth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grit and Situated
From Scott Simon, founder of a global courage movement, and Gregory Stock, PhD, creator of The Book of Questions, the #1 New York Times bestseller with over 5 million copies sold in 35 languages, comes a sequel to the original built explicitly for courage.
In an age when technology, AI, and screens have taken over our attention, it's time to get back to asking the best questions. This book brings the beloved format of the iconic original to the one subject more relevant today than ever: courage.
Inside you'll find:
- 112 questions that move from playful to piercing, wrestled over and answered first by the authors themselves
- 48 Courage Challenges built to be done this week, not someday
- The series format readers have trusted for nearly four decades, aimed for the first time at courage
Whether you're looking for a gift for someone who needs courage in their life, powerful icebreakers and connection questions, or a way to explore your own beliefs about courage, this book presents the questions that need to be asked.
- If you could share an honesty elixir with anyone, and for a full day experience each other's inner life—fears, dreams, secrets, and private thoughts—who would you have the desire (and courage) to take it with?
- What is a hard-earned accomplishment you're proud of but don't talk about because it might come across as bragging?
- What have you left behind that still whispers to you—some passion, pursuit, or part of you? What would you have to face to bring it back into your life, and what would it mean to you if you did?
Bring these questions to a dinner table, a road trip, a first date, a team, or a quiet room alone. Bring one to a parent before it's too late. Bring one to yourself. And when a question stirs something in you, turn to the Courage Challenges in the back of the book to put that inspiration into practice.
Ask. Answer. Act.
