When we have a problem to solve in our lives, the better questions we ask to answer the problem, the better results we get.

For eg. When some one is depressed, you could search for things like "why am I depressed?" which may give you a self fulfilling prophecy of how who you are or what you are doing makes you depressed. 

Or

You could ask "how to be happy?" That reframes the question and you are no longer focusing on the problem but the solution space. More questions like "why being happy matters" or "activities to increase happiness"

Now all questions are about the same problem - but the answers you receive by reframing your question could moves you into very different directions.
