Other Versions of this Book: Hardcover
Book Description:
A New York Times bestseller with over 1.9 million copies in print, THE BOOK OF QUESTIONS poses 265 questions that invite people to explore the most fascinating of subjects: themselves. These questions are as intriguing as our very lives because they are about our lives-our fundamental values and beliefs, our dreams and nightmares about sex, money, love, power.
Some of the questions thrust you into a value-testing hypothetical situation (Would you accept 20 years of extraordinary happiness and fulfillment if it meant you would die at the end of the period?), some ask you to delve into your past (When is the last time you stole anything?) and help you find out if you've changed (Would you now return it if you could?), and others reveal your basic nature by examining your behavior (When you are given a compliment do you usually acknowledge it or suggest that you really do not deserve it?). Whether used as an avenue for personal growth, a tool for deepening relationships, or simply as an entertainment, THE BOOK OF QUESTIONS may be the only publication that challenges-and even changes-the way readers view the world, without offering a single opinion of its own.

I bought this book before I went on vacation with a group of friends, thinking it would be perfect for our long train rides and layovers along the way. Well, I left it at home, but was so bummed that I went to a bookstore in London and bought another copy! I'm holing on to my copy for the next vacation, but I have an extra to give away to another person who is looking for a perfect travel companion, bedside book, or living room conversation starter!

This is an excellent book for starting discussions. I've used it with friends in the car on long road trips, as a college RA to spark discussion during communication activities, and in ethics classes as a source of examples of serious ethical dilemmas. Also, if you're like me and were born without the gift of the gab, keeping a few of the more interesting questions in mind will help you through any social setting. While there are numerous mundane and perhaps pointless questions in this book, there are numerous perplexing, thought-provoking, and difficult ones as well. This book will get you thinking seriously about your beliefs.

Thought provoking, conversation stimulating questions. 5 X 7 inch paperback, 205 pages. Not trivia questions, but questions about you or the person you ask -- what you think, feel, value. What you would do in given situations.

The Book of Questions gives you permission to ask those things that are too bold, too embarrassing,or just too difficult to ask by yourself.
