What are you doing vs. how are you doing?

Answer

"What are you doing?" asks about your current activity or action (Are you reading? Working? Cooking?). "How are you doing?" is a greeting asking about your general well-being, feelings, or condition (Are you well? How's life?). The first seeks specific information about activities; the second is often a polite, conversational inquiry about your state or progress.
