Awaiting Publication

“In my opinion, there are two things that make for great non-fiction. First, you need a fresh idea - something intellectually satisfying, with plenty of depth and nuance. But just as important, you need a likable author. Like Brené Brown or Simon Sinek; I want the words to feel like my friend - someone I never see as often as I'd like.

For these two reasons – I adore Amber Johnson’s work. Whether it is her Better than Fine Substack newsletter, or her book, Good Question, her thoughts are clear and interesting – and reading Amber’s words always makes me feel cared for and cozy; like the angel in white sitting on my shoulder, giving me hints and advice as I go about my day – with the sole objective of making me my best version of myself.”
—Kate Mangino, author, Equal Partners

“This book hits hard.

There are books that inform, and then there are books that transform. Good Question falls squarely into the latter. Reading Good Question helped me understand that great conversations start not with charisma, but with curiosity. It taught me that asking good questions—genuine, engaged, and sometimes vulnerable ones—is the gateway to connection and influence. 

The impact has been tangible. I’ve felt it in meetings, during hard conversations, and on trips with my husband, where we had rich, joyful dialogue that went far beyond small talk.

If you want to be a better leader, partner, or simply a more present human, read this book. And then read it again.”

“Amber's writing gives me tools to ask better questions, so I get more meaningful answers. Her concise, thoughtful tips on how to communicate better as a leader give me ideas I can put into action (usually that day). I read her content, feel nudged to ask more reflective questions in my daily interactions and tada! I get better feedback, information, and connections with my colleagues. It's like magic in my inbox.” —Laura Zumdahl, President & CEO, New Moms
