Questions. They come naturally to some, not so for others. But there’s one thing about questions of which we can be assured, they’re an important device to enhance your career and personal lives and they’re used incorrectly by most.
Fortunately, there’s finally been written a fascinating book detailing a process for forming and asking questions. Questions that will deliver the answers you want and need to advance your agenda without ever seeming nosy, creepy, or pushy (a concern many of my students have expressed).
Most people ask questions poorly—professors, friends, coworkers, supervisors, experts, whomever. Even professionals trained to ask questions, journalists, police, and lawyers for example, often ask questions that deliver answers that don’t serve their purposes.
Everyone from students to professors, interviewers to interviewees, from boyfriends to girlfriends and others, virtually everyone can immediately benefit by learning the science and art of asking the right questions the right way and for the right reasons. Reading Find Out Anything From Anyone, Anytime will empower you to:
- Learn proper questioning techniques
- Know the kinds of questions inappropriate for certain situations
- Learn to listen for tells
- Control the conversation, when useful
- Achieve proficiency in a subject quickly
