“When we change our questions, we open our minds and our consciousness expands. This book is a masterful volume designed for those who wish to be fully alive.”
“Our complex world demands that we ask different questions, but the power of habit throws us into the Judger Pit. Dr. Adams shows us how to get out of the Judger Pit and stay out—and how to improve our relationships, our work, and our lives with a new mindset that offers more helpful questions.”
