The Book of Questions

An excellent resource for discussion starters and writing prompts!

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.
Example Questions:

Page 13:If you could spend a year in perfect happiness but afterward would remember nothing of the experience would you do so? If not, why not?

Page 15: You discover that your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake?

Page 65: Without your kidney as a transplant, someone close to you will die in one month. The odds that you will survive the operation are only 50 percent, but should you survive, you would be certain of a normal life expectancy. Would you consent to the operation?
