In Simon's Why University Discovery course there are lots of questions that will help you explore your Why. Here are some supplemental questions that I have found to work. With each, remember to keep asking why this is important so that you explore beneath the surface level.
- In your life so far, what are your greatest accomplishments? Why did you do these things?
- If you were hosting a dinner party and invited five famous people, who would they be and what you want to know from them?
- What do you find to be the most inspiring and uplifting characteristics of other people?
- What do you like best about yourself?
- What do you need to have accomplished to have lived a life without regrets?
- What is your greatest fear and how do you deal with it?
- What do you want to prevent other people from having to experience?
- What are two things that just don’t work in this world?
- What injustices cause you to be outraged?
- What needs to stop?
- What needs to start?
- What would you do if you had a magic wand?
- What would you be doing if it was impossible to fail?
