Life-Changing Questions

After running a series of scientific studies, we've discovered a specific set of practical, yet rarely-asked, questions that 83% of people reported were valuable for them to answer and 78% said they would recommend to others. The Life-Changing Questions deck is the result.

The questions in this deck can be used to generate insights and focus a process of self-reflection, spark conversation and connection with acquaintances or strangers, and deepen your connections with the people you care about.

How to play

Answer the Life-Changing Questions on your own or with others in Share, Dare, or Solitaire mode. There are many ways to use these cards. Here are a few that we like:

• Foster deeper conversation with friends at a dinner party

• Share the cards at a meet up with people you're getting to know

• Pick a question to journal about each day

• Answer with your partner to share what's important to each of you

• Post a question on the fridge for everyone in your house to consider and discuss

What people have learned

Many people who have tried the Life-Changing Questions have told us that answering the questions made a difference in their lives. Here are a few comments we've received:

• "I learned that you absolutely must engage in self-reflection. You must think about what you can do to make your life better rather than just allowing things to fall into place."

• "I realized how important it is to allow yourself to lean on other people. It really enhances life."

• "The sooner I take action, the better things will be for me. I am currently holding myself back."
