The magic question provokes deep thinking...
Was a good read.
Top takeaways that resonated are:
Move from PROBLEM based to OUTCOME based questions.
Tell your mind to look for something new and different, instead of what you already know about.
Once you train your brain to look for what you really want, you can get it in half the time or even less.
Staying present is the most important part of keeping the Reticular Activating System open and absorbing what is being said.”
Your RAS responds better to auditory commands than to other options. That means that words and sounds are particularly effective at breaking through the RAS radar and getting your attention AND YOUR OWN VOICE IS THE BEST TO COMMAND!
The easiest way to change belief systems is to ask better questions, and the results will erode old beliefs.
Write the following words on an index card and read it a few times a day: “What is another reason to be happy now?” You must allocate 60 seconds a day to answer this question 5-12 times a day, every day. This mental process must become a habit. You will be re-wiring your brain and creating new, stronger, neural pathways each time to answer these questions. Do this every day for 21 days… you will be happier.
Any liquid-cooled car engine has a small device called the thermostat that sits between the engine and the radiator. The thermostat in most cars is about two inches (five cm) in diameter. Its job is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine. Once the engine reaches its set temperature (generally about 200 degrees F, 95 degrees C), the thermostat opens. By letting the engine warm up as quickly as possible, the thermostat reduces engine wear, deposits, and emissions. It’s really amazing and, if you could see how does its work, it’s like magic!” Now, I don’t want to force you to be uncomfortable, but I’m suggesting that if you take small steps to change your comfort level, so that you’re not fully comfortable, it’ll motivate you to make some changes…because you’ve got to take a few more actions.
* The fact that I turned my goals and desires into questions was a profound shift and deviation from what most other goal-setting books are teaching.
* The fact that I take those questions and physically write them with a bold black sharpie marker on a brightly-colored index card is unique. I also think writing them in my own handwriting personalizes them to me. My unconscious likes that.
* The fact that I put these small, colorful index cards around my house and office is unique. When I go to bed, there is one card on my bedside table. That forces me to read that question and contemplate the answer while I sleep.
Just choose one question a day, and keep that question active until your brain has had time to come up with some creative solutions. I’ve seen people use the same question for one day, one month, even one year.
Principle #1: Embed positive pre-suppositions..
Principle #2: Avoid the Negative
Principle #3: Frame the question to look for answers from the present or future.
Principle #4: Avoid the Word ‘Why’.
Simple Structure QUESTION WORD + PROUNOUN + PUZZLE Example: How can I get money for college? Who will I meet who will bring me true love? How can my business double its revenue this quarter? Advanced Structure SOFTENER + MAGIC WORD + QUESTION WORD + PROUNOUN + PUZZLE
Softener: Simple: How can I get plenty of money for college? Advanced: I’m beginning to wonder how effortlessly I can get money for college. Softener: I’m beginning to wonder Magic word: effortlessly

This is a short fun read about the power of using NLP based well-structured questions to speed up the manifestation and problem solving process in your life. Readers have applied it to their career, love life, finances, and even fitness goals. The book includes a link to the audio book.
It is in the self-help genre. If you like NLP or John Assaraf, you will find this material scientific, new, and useful.

Simple, easy to read (or listen - I bought the audio book) and with practical tips that I'm now trying to apply it. Like any self development book- just reading is not enough - you have to create a daily habit to apply it. I believe this a good book for people that are at the beginning of the the process. For people with some NLP skills already you might want something more advanced. All in all i like this book for it's simplicity and practical exercises with the phrases and words you can use on a daily base.

Insightful
I started this book and noticed how fast I would read it because it’s to the point and builds. The more you read the more your mind thinks of more possibilities. I already have questions saved and ready to ask.

Good information about changing your mindset by simply asking yourself questions that are structured in a way that will get your subconscious seeking out wanted opportunities.
