4,000 Questions for Getting to Know Anyone and Everyone, 2nd Edition

I use this book for dates. Some questions are good but others not so much. They have helped others open up to me. I have also used it for parties with friends. I would recommend getting this and then maybe buying another one similar to it. Like the 3000 questions book.

This is a fun and intersting time passing book. All the questions are straightforward and easy to comprehend. I love the font, book cover and quality of the paper. This is the only book you would ever need for asking people questions or even answering the questions yourself. It fits in most size purses and is easy to read, decent font and good print. Thanks for such a good book, hope my comment helps any of you who need to receive a good answer to any of your questions you may be asking yourself.

Me and my girl spend time apart cause of distance, this book helps keep the long distance phone calls interesting!!

This is the coolest book ever!! I bought it for my son for his high school graduation, with the intent to make him more comfortable with casual conversations and meeting new people. I have now introduced it to my co-workers as a way to make more personal connections with our customers. And you can open it up at a party or with a group of friends at any gathering to get a great discussion started instantly. LOVE IT!!!!

I was looking for a book that might give me a few INTERESTING questions to keep in the back of my mind when I go into situations where small talk is needed. This book was a Forrest Gump-like box of chocolates, and I did not expect what I got. Some of the questions fit my needs, like: •”Would you get into a driverless vehicle? Do you think driverless vehicles are the future?” •”Do you get your news from Twitter or other social media?” •”Will you let a robot physically assist you or monitor you as you get older?” Then there are the zany questions that I’d find a way to work into a conversation somehow because I think they’d start a good talk. •”Will time travel ever exist for humans?” •”How much would you pay to be a space tourist?” •”Have you ever purchased an ‘As Seen on TV’ item?” And then there’s a third type of questions, which I frankly can’t imagine using anywhere other than a therapist’s office. I know I won’t be asking questions like this at the office Christmas party: •”Can you love your stepparents or adopted parents as much as a biological parent?” •”Do you know anyone with an Autism Spectrum Disorder?” •”Have you ever visited a deceased friend or relative in a cemetary a year after they died?” •”What is your most horrifying childhood memory of your parents?” (Honestly, why do any of these seem like good conversation topics? The theme of pain abounds in the family & friends section. Eek.) There are also wildly political questions, like these, which you might want to get into but I definitely won’t be... •”Will you sign up for the ACA/Obamacare or pay the penalty?” •”Should people with mental health issues be allowed to own guns?” •”Should victims of terrorism and mass shootings be compensated?” And then these, which I wonder why anyone would ask them of anyone else, either because they’re nosy or just plain weird (both the asker and the questions): •”Do you know your credit score? Do you know how to find out your credit score?” •”Are you still covered by your parents’ health-care insurance?” •Would you take erectile dysfunction medication if you had a problem in that area?” Overall...I had to do some digging to get what I was looking for. All of them require a lead in- they wouldn’t flow naturally with a conversation, but I guess that’s somewhat to be expected. And some of them read like essay questions, so you’d need to rephrase to avoid sounding like you expected a 3-5 page MLA format paper due by Friday. Would I buy again? Mmm, maybe. But I’d look into other conversation starter books first, I think.

The questions were thought-provoking and sparked some great conversations with friends and family. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to deepen their self-awareness and understanding of others. Five stars!

This book is honestly hilarious in the different questions you can ask someone, but also has the serious questions into ask someone to get them to open up more Highly recommend! 💜

Good book to read

This book is perfect for use as a journal prompt book. When I am having trouble coming up with something to write, I just copy a few of these questions into my journal and go from there. With 4000 questions, I'm sure I won't be running out any time soon!

Top notch

This is a perfect conversation filler. If you have people over and feel like you have ran out things to talk about, this book is for you. Or you want to get to know a person better, this is the book. Can't say enough about this book!

Great book für classrooms. Not every question is appropriate, but the amount is high enough to find alternatives quickly. I've used it several times now and recommended it to colleagues as well.

I'm really enjoying this book. I use it to ask current friends and family random questions and also potential new friends. It's fun and I like how the questions are laid out in categories, making it easy to read.
