In the “(Best Foot) Foreword” of Founder of Street Wisdom, David Pearl’s book Wanderful, David asks 9 particularly good questions. They’re very Street Wisdom, they’re very human, they’re very now. We’ve popped them below so you can ponder them here (and if you like them, grab a copy of Wanderful, the profits keep our work free).

Why not slip one of them into your metaphorical shoe the next time you head out for a wander? Or take a moment to slow right down now and have a go contemplating them here.

 

9 particularly good questions to ask

  1. How can we be purposely purposeless in a world where productivity rules?

  2. Why are we so obsessed with straight lines when Nature teaches us to wiggle?

  3. What’s exciting about being lost and how is it different from feeling lost?

  4. How can we read the street as though it’s a book full of messages for us?

  5. When you come to a crossroads (in life), which way should you turn?

  6. Are people we don’t know really strangers? And if so, how is it that they can sometimes offer us better advice than people who know us well?

  7. If you could set the pace in your life, would you choose the one you are marching to right now?

  8. When something wonderful happens ‘by chance’, what’s really happening and can we make it happen more often?

  9. And, perhaps most importantly of all, what can spending time on an everyday street teach us about navigating complexity at a time when the world is sorely in need of new direction?
