The phenomenon returns! Originally published in 1987, The Book of Questions, a New York Times bestseller, has been completely revised and updated to incorporate the myriad cultural shifts and hot-button issues of the past twenty-five years, making it current and even more appealing.This is a book for personal growth, a tool for deepening relationships, a lively conversation starter for the family dinner table, a fun way to pass the time in the car. It poses over 300 questions that invite people to explore the most fascinating of subjects: themselves and how they really feel about the world.The revised edition includes more than 100 all-new questions that delve into such topics as the disappearing border between man and machine―How would you react if you learned that a sad and beautiful poem that touched you deeply had been written by a computer? The challenges of being a parent―Would you completely rewrite your child’s college-application essays if it would help him get into a better school? The never-endingly interesting topic of sex―Would you be willing to give up sex for a year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you now have? And of course the meaning of it all―If you were handed an envelope with the date of your death inside, and you knew you could do nothing to alter your fate, would you look?The Book of Questions may be the only publication that challenges―and even changes―the way you view the world, without offering a single opinion of its own. Review: it's a good question... - This is really what is says on the tin - It does challenge you to question not only yourself, but your surroundings. Are you worried about awkward silence, or running out of conversational topics at a date or a dinner? Try this. Some of the questions are not just questions, but really good dilemmas as well. I couldn't answer all of them to myself, even. It was interesting taking these questions and dilemmas to friends an colleagues (over the summer holiday, those of us left at work didn't have one boring chit-chat lunch thanks to this book). Not only does the answers different people give surprise you, but to gauge their initial reaction to a question or an dilemma is sometimes quite revealing about that person too... The book is in a very handy pocket size, and so it was my communte reading. I wasn't bored on my way to work either. Review: A real ice breaker. - This book is so great for many occasions. It can start debate between families, help you get to know someone and possibly find out things about people you didn't even know. I absolutely love getting it out with family and asking round questions. It never gets old.

A real ice breaker.
This book is so great for many occasions. It can start debate between families, help you get to know someone and possibly find out things about people you didn't even know. I absolutely love getting it out with family and asking round questions. It never gets old.

A deep book
I was kind of expecting a light hearted book, but the questions are quite deep, some incredibly political too. A great book for an evening of entertainment though. Also didn't read the dimensions,.. its tiny! About 4x6 inches.

Good for having a gentle mid-week existential crisis
A good conversation piece: you can just open at random pages and you have an automatic deep conversation in front of you. Maybe avoid using with family members, unless you're especially curious about your grandparents sexual habits. If you don't have any friends, it's perfectly designed for sitting at your desk, talking out loud to yourself and having existential crises. Pages are good for absorbing tears.

Libro originale
Questo libro è stato consigliato da una youtuber americana, sono stata subito incuriosita e l'ho finalmente acquistato, molto carino, ti pone delle domande su temi diverse e ti permette di riflettere molto su te stesso. Ovviamente tutto in inglese, qualche domanda è un po' più difficile da tradurre, ma questo dipende ovviamente dal vostro livello d'inglese.

Saw it, needed it.
I originally saw this book in a store and then decided against buying it for whatever reason. As soon as I got home, I ordered it from Amazon and as always, it arrived super fast. The questions in this book really make you (and others) think. You can always bring one of those questions up (no matter if you tell your conversation partner(s) that you took it from a book) and it will cause an interesting discussion. Alls thumps up! Go buy this book if you like thinking about questions that no one would ever ask you.
