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.

Oversimplistic?
Im not sure what the author's purpose really was with this. The book has a list of questions which are meant to aid reflection and thinking on issues of self-awareness or similar, but a majority of them sound trivial to me. Granted, it is a subjective matter, but I would far more quickly go to Pablo Neruda's Book of Questions as a source of real soul-searching, evocative material. Unlike Stock's, Neruda's questions have no personal answers, but their effect in healthy introspection lingers on. I found the same not to be true with this clinically functional Book of Questions.

Love this book!!
I bought this book years ago and loaned it to a friend who never gave it back. I missed it for years before I bought it again. Great for conversation and you'll never get bored discussing it. Always entertaining!
