The key to achieving emotional connections and social progress he told them, can be found in five essential questions: Wait, what?I wonder if . . .Couldn't we at least?How can I help?What truly matters? Wait, what? is at the root of all understanding. I wonder is at the heart of all curiosity. Couldn't we at least? is the beginning of all progress.

By regularly asking these questions, Ryan promises, you will be prepared to enthusiastically answer Yes to one final--and, ultimately, most important--question: And did you get what you wanted out of life, even so?
