MY NEXT BOOK IS ALMOST FINISHED

“When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind.” I keep coming back to this quote from Seneca.

It is remarkably easy to be busy without being particularly clear about where you are going. We answer emails. Fill diaries. Solve problems. Meet deadlines. Make plans. Get through the week. There is always another wind blowing.

But where is your harbour? What are you actually trying to move towards?

I’ve been thinking a lot about this because I’ve been busy writing my new book – very much one of my harbours over the past few months – which will be published in the next couple of months.

I’m keeping the title under wraps for now, but at its heart is a simple idea: The questions we ask ourselves matter far more than we realise.

Ask yourself one question and your attention goes in one direction. Ask a different question and you may notice something you had been overlooking completely.

For example, ask yourself: “Why am I not the sort of person who can do that?” Your brain immediately starts looking for evidence to support the premise of the question. We are, in many ways, thinker-provers.

But flip the question: “When did I become the sort of person who can achieve this?” Now you have given your brain a very different job. It starts looking somewhere else.

Different evidence. Different possibilities. Different choices. And, over time, potentially a very different direction.

We spend a lot of time looking for better answers. In writing this book I have become convinced we should spend more time looking at the questions that produce them.

Sometimes the problem isn’t that we need more wind. We need to decide which harbour we are making for. Then start asking ourselves questions that help us get there.

I’ll be sharing more about the book soon. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, send me a note nigel@9kmby9am.com and I’ll add you to the early list.

You’ll receive the first details and be among the first to hear when copies are available.
