The secret to being magnetic isn't having the best stories—it's asking the best
questions. A landmark Harvard study found that people who ask more questions during conversations
are consistently rated as more likable, more intelligent, and more desirable as future conversation
partners. Why? Because questions demonstrate genuine curiosity. And curiosity is the most attractive
quality there is. This guide gives you 150+ questions for every possible situation.

response. Let the conversation breathe.
- Follow up. The best conversations come from follow-up questions, not scripted
lists.

up, follow them there.
- Be vulnerable first. Share your own answer before asking. Vulnerability invites
vulnerability.
- Save this page. Share it with friends. You'll never run out of things to say
again.
