Best Questions From Personal Socrates

Personal Socrates is a book I have been reading. It features profiles of world-class performers and thinkers, and historical legends, but boils down their driving motivation down to a single question. I'm not quite finished, but these are my favourite chapters/questions so far.

I like Stephen Hawking's question. Noting that he is one of the brilliant minds in his time but he asked such question.

I need to be reminded by this question ''What do I have in control?" It brings me back to being normal from someone who wants to do everything. Thanks for this.
