Sinopsis

An update of the best selling Book of Questions, the revised book poses over 300 questions that invite people to explore the most fascinating of subjects: themselves. It's a book that can be used as an avenue for personal growth, a tool for deepening relationships, a way to get to know someone quickly, or simply as a fun way to pass the time on long car trips. The revised edition is completely updated, and features over 100 new questions that reflect the current culture shifts of the past 25 years. (Question No. 23: How would you react if you learned that a sad and beautiful poem that touched you deeply had been written by a computer? Question No. 129: Would you feel more handicapped by losing the use of all motorised vehicles, all telecommunications devices and computers, or your nondominant hand? If you had to give one up, which would you pick? Question No. 256: You discover that, because of a mix up at the hospital, your wonderful two-year-old is not actually yours. Would you want to switch kids to try to correct the mistake? What if you'd never hear anything more about the child you gave up?).

De la contraportada

Ask your friends. Ask your parents. Ask someone you hardly know. 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. You will find questions of integrity; of sex; of what you would do for money; even things too personal to talk about out loud.

Whether you use it as a tool for self discovery, or as a provocative way to stimulate conversation, this book constantly challenges attitudes, morals, beliefs-and it challenges you.
