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. Which sex do you think has it easier in our culture? Have you ever wished you were of the opposite sex? Knowing you had a 50 percent chance of winning and would be paid 10 times the amount of your bet if you won, what fraction of what you now own would you be willing to wager? Would you rather spend a month on vacation with your parents or put in overtime at your current job for four weeks without extra compensation? Zusammenfassung An update of the best selling Book of Questions, this 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.
