Unlearning often begins with a new question. For a couple of wonderful examples, I'd invite you to read two recent articles. The first is from Seth Godin and he asks: Who do you work for? (And who works for you?) The premise of his question is that we should all re-think our relationship with our bosses. Instead of assuming we work for them, Godin encourages his readers to think of their bosses as working for them.
The second article highlights how a new question from the Dalai Lama inspired a scientist to begin researching happiness. Instead of studying depression, anxiety and fear the Dalai Lama asked, why not study positive human qualities like happiness and compassion?
Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin, didn't have a good answer for him and has since spent the last 18 years of his life attempting to answer the question.
If you are stuck in a rut, try asking a new question. It could lead to unlearning.
