From the
reviews
...
This book provides groups with
1,001 engaging and
thought-provoking icebreaker
questions to start and sustain
meaningful conversations.
Most of us realize that raising
questions is a powerful way to
get interesting dialogue. But
asking good ones can be another
matter—they’re not always that
easy to think up! That’s where
The Complete Book of Questions
comes in. This book is one big
compilation of questions—1001 of
them you can use to launch great
conversations in almost any
context. And many of these
questions are likely to trigger
other questions you may also
wish to discuss. Think of this
book as a tool to spark
interaction—and to know and
understand others, and yourself,
better.
The questions in The Complete
Book of Questions have been
divided into ten categories for
easy reference. Because of the
broad range, there are questions
that are great ice-breakers for
use with strangers or mere
acquaintances, as well as
"deeper" questions that can be
used with closer friends.
There are probably as many ways to put this book to use, as there
are questions within it! So be
creative. Experiment with these
1001 questions in different
contexts—and be sure to make the
most of the conversations that
ensue!
“This book was recommended to me
by some friends. I keep it on my
coffee table and I can't tell
you how many people will pick it
up and start throwing out
questions to others in the room.
Not only does it get people
talking but it also makes you
think about what you might do in
certain situations, what your
thoughts are on various
subjects, etc. “
As a discussion group facilitator, I am always trying to find new
tools to help 'bring people
out'. This new book by Garry
Poole is terrific. It offers
more for discussion organizers
such as myself who could always
use new ideas.
