Overview

The Book of Questions may be the only publication that challenges and changes the way readers view the world, without offering a single opinion of its own. Posing 265 questions, The Book of Questions is bound to provoke hours and hours of thought.

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.

The Book of Questions has been translated into 15 languages. Gregory Stock's other books include The Kids' Book of Questions, which is being used in schools around the country, The Book of Questions: Love & Sex, and The Book of Questions: Business, Politics, and Ethics. He received a doctorate in biophysics from John Hopkins University in 1977 and has published numerous papers in biophysics and developmental biology. A Baker Scholar, he received an MBA from Harvard business school in 1987.

Poses questions that can start 265 conversations concerning our fundamental values and beliefs, our dreams and nightmares about sex, money, love, and power.

Read an Excerpt

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?

    A great book-

    This is a great book to have sitting on your coffee table. This will really get a conversation going. Have your friend or family pick a number and turn to that page and ask the question. This is a great book for a long car trip- you will really have some entertaining, thought provoking conversations and you will learn new things about people that you never knew before! You think you know someone until you ask them the questions from this book. I highly recommend it.

    This book makes you take a closer look at who you really are.

    Unlike the many self-help books that try to change some aspect of your personality or behavior, this one just allows you to see yourself-exactly as you are at this moment-more clearly. Like any honest self-evaluation, it can make you proud, ashamed, happy or sad, depending on which question you are looking at. Above all, it makes you think.

    The book is a quick read in terms of word count, but it has a long-lasting influence. It's ideal for sharing with friends...and virtually guaranteed to stimulate interesting conversation!

    A reviewer

    I use some of the appropriate questions in a Public Speaking course that I teach for impromptu speech assignments. The questions herein are excellent conversation starters and foster group discussions on a variety of issues relative to wealth, power, love, goals, success, responsibility, friendship, and more. Truly a useful tool for anyone in the communications or social sciences discipline. I constantly refer to it, and it's also fun for parties and get togethers. A great coffee table book. Something that makes you think, discuss, and ponder. Reasonably priced and a worthy, thought-provoking read.

    A prenuptial must!

    An excellent book that sparks conversation and discussion that all couples should engage in, espeically before getting married. Also great for stimulating dull evenings into lively discussion, sometimes thought provoking, more than often laughter inducing!

    Great Conversations

    My husband at first was hesitant to start using this book and then I had a hard time getting him to put it down! He wants to bring it to any gathering we have in the future. If you are looking for a book to get to know someone and have great conversations, this is the book for you.

    TRULY A CLASSIC!!!!!

    I read this book when it was first published and still read it today. It's great reading it with friends and an excellent source for finding out what kind of values your friends and you have (if answered honestly). Thought provoking as well as entertaining.

    GREAT DATE BOOK! This book helped me (and my now finace) really get to know each other from the very start. We spent hours on the phone answering these questions back and forth. I wonder if we would be where we are now without this great little book? It is great for all ages of people. Everyone should own a copy!

    GREAT BOOK!

    This is an excellent book and I recommend that everyone has a copy of it on hand. It helps give you excuses to talk about things with your lover you normally might not think of. I also had fun skimming through it with my friends. It is really a fun book and it makes conversation 'interesting'.

    A true classic!

    This book has been circulated among my friends for years and used at different social functions. Whenever we get together, someone inevitably asks, 'Where's the Book of Questions?' It really helps you get to know those you love and share your life with... (we just need a volume 2!)

    A Fabulous Party Book with Real World ties

    I love this book! It is a book full of realationship and sex questions. I enjoy sharing this book with friends. It really provokes conversation. I heard somewhere that a copy has been in place in every Real World house. I know for sure that it was in the first Real World house and was featured in an episode. It is a lot of fun and I have enjoyed it for the past two years.

    HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE BOOK

    I don't see how reading these questions helps you to find out about yourself... the whole book consists of played out situations testing your morality to rediculous extremes... The questions get repetitive and half of them sound like questions junior high school kids talk about during lunchtime... If anybody's using these horrendous questions as conversation topics i highly suggest you get out more, or at least get a better book...
