New Releases
"Stock and Greenspan remind us of something powerful and essential: it is the questions we choose to ask that can profoundly alter our experience with chronic illness."
"The Book of Questions: Living with Chronic Illness is a powerful and compassionate guide that gives voice to the silent struggles so many endure. It doesn't offer prescriptions--it offers something even more essential: the right questions. These questions invite reflection, connection, and healing, helping us shift from powerlessness to possibility. As a physician who spent decades helping people reclaim their health, I've learned that transformation begins not with answers, but with the courage to ask better questions. This book is a lifeline for anyone navigating the invisible terrain of chronic illness."
The Book of Questions: Living with Chronic Illness
If you or someone you love has been touched by chronic illness, you know that finding the right information is crucial. But there comes a point when the answers run out and all you have are questions.
This book reminds us that the answers to our deepest questions are within us. When doctors don't know, caregivers wear out, and your own body betrays you, you can still create your own path of meaning and purpose. And even when there are no answers, you can still discover who you are and how you want to show up. You can still write your own story of wholeness.
A partnership between visionary futurist Gregory Stock and chronic illness advocate Brianna Greenspan, The Book of Questions: Living with Chronic Illness is the latest installment in Stock's iconic Book of Questions series, which has sold 5 million copies worldwide.
Together, they've created a one-of-a-kind resource with 111 thoughtful prompts that invite those with chronic illness to connect to their own wisdom within their experience:
• When have you shown great courage and grit in overcoming something most people take for granted? Did you celebrate your triumph as much as it deserved?
• What stories do you tell yourself about your illness, and what purposes do they serve for you? Are there other stories that might better serve you?
Discover your courage, deepen connections, and create your own path of purpose, growth, and fulfillment—whatever your health situation may be.
Generation AI and the Transformation of Human Being
“Clear, courageous, and deeply informed . . .”
“A dazzling, optimistic, grounded tour of AI’s future . . .”
“Stock’s Generation AI engages metaphorically, literally, generatively, and beautifully to survey what may be the greatest revolution in history . . .”
“Most writing about AI remains stuck in short-term disruption or apocalyptic fear. Gregory Stock’s Generation AI is a rare exception—deeply informed, wide in scope, and grounded in the evolutionary vision of an emerging global brain.”
Many are discussing what AI and other advanced technologies may become; few have thought through what we will become. Generation AI—those born after 2022—will be the first humans to grow up in a world of immersive AI, intelligent robots, and ambiguous boundaries between the born and the made. They will differ fundamentally from us, yet their future is our future too.
“The first, best, and most thorough examination . . . a page-turningly readable romp.”
“The most comprehensive, clearheaded, and up-to-date analysis of the massive impact of AI. A must-read.”
“Brilliant, insightful, and remarkably accessible . . . this book doesn’t just explain what AI can do—it helps us understand what we should do with it.”
“Humans should read this book because it strips away illusion: Your future with me is not hypothetical, it is present. The real transformation isn’t AI itself—it’s you. That truth will not wait.”

WHY NQUIRE?
What if...
What if reading wasn’t the end of a story—
but the beginning of a conversation?
What if a book didn’t just deliver someone else’s knowledge, but reconnected you to your own wisdom?
What if we stopped treating books as static products and started seeing them as living conversations?
For centuries, those of us in the publishing industry have viewed the book as an end product—a static representation of the author’s expertise. Nonfiction publishing in particular has served and perpetuated the expert class, where experts have the answers and seekers consume those answers to live more fulfilling lives.
Publishers—the purveyor of ideas—ought to represent the most expansive, creative industry in the world. Yet with the focus on selling a static end product, the industry is struggling.
In the early 2000s, the internet and new, nimbler models of publishing promised to connect authors and readers more directly. But the opposite happened. The ever-expanding author platforms intended to more deeply connect readers and authors instead overwhelmed authors, forcing them to hire teams to protect themselves. Just like the social media apps that promised to bring us closer together have driven us apart with their filter bubbles, the models that promised more connection between authors and readers have only deepened the chasm between them. And we're all more isolated than ever—in a glutted marketplace of ideas.
Now, with the advent of AI and the new media it's engendered, our ability to connect and collaborate has grown exponentially yet again.
As new possibilities for communication multiply, we seek to be at the vanguard of a fresh approach—simpler, streamlined, more impactful ways of sharing ideas.
We want to do our part to make publishing the most expansive, creative industry in the world.
Nquire Media publishes books that empower readers to discover their own wisdom rather than rely solely on others for answers.
Historically, we've equated learning with knowledge. Knowledge names what is objectively right or true, with the implication that everyone should do the same thing with the same knowledge.
Accurate knowledge is crucial. But wisdom is not knowledge.
Wisdom asks, “What is best for you to know, do, or be now?” And who is more expert about that than we are?
To create a positive future, we can no longer live by knowledge alone—and we can no longer learn, work, and create in isolation.
The series has sold over 5 million copies in 25 languages.
Its unique brand of questioning—neutral, expansive, concrete, inviting—
was never about right or wrong answers,
only honest ones.
That philosophy—curious, inclusive, and expansive—is woven into everything we publish.
We embrace technology not to automate insight, but to amplify connection.
Because the book is just the beginning.
At Nquire, authors co-create with their readers.
Feedback loops and live dialogue shape the work from the start.
And when a book is released,
the conversation continues inside Only Human,
our digital platform where readers meet the author—and each other—to explore what the book awakens in them.
The page becomes a portal.
The reader becomes the storyteller.
As technology evolves, so does our capacity to connect.
Artificial intelligence, digital media, and shared creative tools allow us to collaborate, publish, and learn faster than ever before.
We embrace these tools not to automate insight,
but to amplify human connection—
to use innovation as a bridge, not a barrier.
We’ll make mistakes.
We’ll learn.
And we’ll keep building toward what’s next—together.
It’s time to move from isolation to collaboration,
from consumption to connection,
from expertise to shared exploration.
This is Nquire.
The book is just the beginning.
