This question combines two of the things I contemplate most often: work and peak experiences. Work isn’t just what you do to pay your bills; it’s what you do with the best years of your life. It’s where you are spending your life’s best energy, best years of health, and most creative days. Your work should really matter (at least to you). And as far as peak experiences go, I’m very interested in the moments that people feel most “in the zone.” It’s my theory that maximizing the number of peak experiences in any given community is a pretty great way to improve quality of life for everyone. Mashing these two things together yields this question: When was the last time you left work feeling on top of the world? I like this question as one you can ask your employees or team. But it’s also a great question to ask your friends. Asking it can lead people to more peak experiences at their current jobs or it can lead them to different work entirely.
