Description

The international bestseller that will sharpen your mind, broaden your perspective and transform your relationships.
_____________________________________________________
WHY ARE WE SO BAD AT ASKING GOOD QUESTIONS?

In an increasingly polarized world, asking better questions in our daily and working lives is a radical shortcut to personal and professional success. It can create space for us to rethink our positions, find answers together, and even change our minds for the better.

Drawing on the lessons of Socrates and other great thinkers, practical philosopher Elke Wiss lays out an essential toolkit to help you:
* Transform debates into dialogues
* Embrace your doubts like a true philosopher
* Ditch your ego and become an active listener
* Discover an open and curious Socratic attitude
* Learn Sherlock Holmes's powers of observation
* Open conversations up or dig down deeper with key question types
* Explore thorny issues and avoid classic question pitfalls
* Face your fear of asking and start connecting


The right questions can unlock the answers to anything - and help you know everything, without being a know-it-all.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
