How Are You Really? Card Set
How Are You Really? is a card deck designed to deepen and improve relationships between people. Carefully crafted questions allow you to see the other person and open up to them—perhaps even for the first time.
- First, place the special card in the middle.
- Now take another card and read it aloud.
- Provide a safe space for the other person to respond honestly and without interruptions.
- Now it's up to you to answer the same question.
- Then it is the other person's turn to draw a card.
- Use the special card only once to delve deeper into a question.
When someone opens up to us and shares their deepest feelings, they are confiding a part of themselves in us. This requires a lot of courage and a willingness to be vulnerable. Attentive listening allows us to understand the other person's feelings, thoughts, and experiences on a deeper level.

Stories of the Older Generations
As we grow older, our relationships with our parents and grandparents change. We know them well, but often we don't know many details about their lives. Therefore, it's important that we take the time to talk to them and ask them in-depth questions. The older they get, the more important this becomes.
Our parents and grandparents lived long, rich lives full of experiences and wisdom from which we can learn. By asking the right questions and truly listening to their stories, we can gain a deeper understanding of who they are and what shaped their life journey.
These questions are explicitly aimed at older people. The questions are divided into four categories: from simple and relatively easy to answer to very in-depth questions.
- Always start with a question from an easier category.
- We recommend that you move on to the more intensive questions only after several easier questions .
- Give the other person space to speak freely and tell all the stories you may have never heard before.
Our First Date
When we date, we try to get to know each other better, understand who they are and what they're looking for. That's why it's important to ask the right questions.
Thoughtful, open-ended questions can help us build a deeper relationship with our counterpart, learn about their values and goals, and better understand what they are looking for in a relationship.
- When you meet someone for the first or second time, start on the first level.
- Read the first question aloud and give the person space to give an honest answer.
- Then it's your turn to answer the same question.
- Go through as many questions as you can.
- Ask the second and third level questions only after several meetings.
