Beautiful questions with David Whyte

ACEP • August 5, 2021

(by Robert Schwarz, PsyD, DCEP)

What are beautiful questions and what do they have to do with our clients?


According to David Whyte, beautiful questions enlarge the context in which we live. They’re often disturbing, because they shake the structures we’ve built, inviting us to engage with a larger, deeper part of our identity. Inviting our clients (and ourselves) to live with these questions can expand inner and outer horizons.



But how can we help our clients find these beautiful questions? Take a few minutes to listen to my riveting conversation with David Whyte. This conversation took place in 2017 (before he joined us at our 2017 conference), and is just as relevant today as it was then.
