Andrew Sobel and Jerry Panas have developed the thought-provoking thesis in their book of the importance of asking questions to tailor advice and build relationships. Their work is illustrated with plenty of examples—some humorous, others dramatically pertinent—and their premise becomes more convincing page by page.

What did FDR, Socrates, Shakespeare and Jesus have in common? According to Sobel and Panas, they all knew how to ask "power questions." Read this book, and you will too!
