Nothing in life is simple, even the easy stuff is hard. Would you cut off your little finger to save a thousand starving people in Africa? What if it was to save the beautiful four year old girl who lives next door and is so cute? Why is one life more important than a thousand?... this book is amazing, may you never tire of asking yourself the questions.

Pretty amazing, thought provoking questions....but a word of advice.. do not place any expectations on the answer your nearest and dearest might give to some of the questions! The q's have a way of extracting the really honest answer
A really fun book though and an excellent present for someone who likes to think!

Gregory Stock has assembled 200 questions "...about your values, your beliefs, and your life; love, money, sex, integrity, generosity, pride and death..." (p. 5). These questions are not meant to have right answers--or short ones. They can stimulate group discussion or prompt solitary reflection. The author has selected them to help us learn more about ourselves.
A sample of the more interesting ones:
- If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven't you told them yet?
- Would you give up half of what you now own for a pill that would permanently change you so that one hour of sleep each day would fully refresh you?
- Do your close friends tend to be older or younger than you?
- When you tell a story, do you often exaggerate or embellish it? Why?
- Would you be willing to go to a slaughterhouse and kill a cow? Do you eat meat?
- Would you rather play a game with someone more or less talented than yourself? Would it matter who was watching?
- If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
The book is recommended a basis for personal reflection, to stimulate discussion with a close friend, or as a basis for after dinner discussion. Think a bit about each question before you ask it of anyone else, though. Some questions probe a bit deeply for casual conversation.

Published 21 months ago by Hazel
good but not great
This book is quite outdated and "americanized".
The intelligent reader can take advantage if it tough.
The price is fair.
