These questions make for enriching dinner table conversation, but they can be equally illuminating if you simply ask them of yourself. I stumbled onto the idea of asking big questions because I needed them myself. They drive our growth, and we can come back to them year after year.

2. Who are you, anyway?
3. Are you what your parents instilled in you?
4. Are you what everybody else told you?”
