Expert Solution

The counselor is using miracle question.The miracle question or "problem is gone" question is a method of questioning that a coach, therapist, or counselor can utilize to invite the client to envision and describe in detail how the future will be different when the problem is no longer present. It is a question that coaches often ask their clients in order to help them think about what they want to change about themselves.
The Miracle Question is a goal setting question that is useful when a client simply does not know what a preferred future would look like. It can be used with individuals to set the course for therapy, with couples, to clarify what each person needs from each other and with families, who too often see one person as the culprit. By using the Miracle Question and asking each person what a better life would look like, the system sees perhaps for the first time, what others need from each other.

I'd like to discuss and learn what you think about one of the controversial issues in finance, both in corporate finance and asset pricing camps. That is about market-to-book ratio and its relation with the stock returns. My personal research agenda is also closely related to this field. For example, one camp argues that a high market to book ratio suggests the existence of valuable future growth options of that company. On the other hand, others argue that a high...
