"Great Stuff!"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?I purchased the hard copy for myself and two others, because the other 297 questions are not on the Audible book.

"Not worth it"
This book is superficial, and way overpriced. Also, too many religious references.
There is little of value here. It's more like a pamphlet you would find in the waiting room of a psychologist's office.4 of 5 people found this review helpful -
"A Good Listen...Worth Two (Or More)"
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?There are definitely some thought provoking questions here that could help someone truly stand out in a personal or professional setting. The stories add interest and context to the questions, and often left me asking questions of my own.
I will definitely be giving this audiobook another listen (or two) to help the information sink in.
Any additional comments?While I like the fact that the two authors alternate narrating chapters of the book, one of the authors reminds me a bit of Tommy Chong, which is a bit distracting at times.
Also, it would be nice to have a PDF reference sheet of all the questions to review now and then, rather than having to stop what you're doing and write them down. I started to write them down, and then I realized I had missed questions because I was too engrossed in the stories.2 of 3 people found this review helpful -
"Good book but performance is lacking."
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?This is a good book if all it does it change your perspective and cause you to rethink your questions before you ask them.
How did the narrator detract from the book?The narrator sounds like a computer generated voice. I found it almost intolerable.

"Great listen!"
What did you love best about Power Questions?I thought the authors did a great job of explaining power questions using their past experiences, and discussing what they learned and how it helped them. Really helped me visualize similar circumstances and get a more personal relationship to the power questions.
Any additional comments?Great read for anyone, but especially those who are in a more sophisticated sales environment.

"Good Book, But ..."
This is a good book written by two authors who tag team the narration. The book provides an excellent introduction into how asking particular questions can lead to discovery of needs, a relationship as a trusted adviser, and, ultimately, sales.
The performance is not terrible. Sobel is basically very smooth. Panas has a really interesting voice (think "gravel"), but he occasionally just mangles words the text. The producers should have insisted that he re-record these obvious errors, which are distracting. Not well-produced for this reason.0 of 0 people found this review helpful -
"Loved this book"
I loved this book because it explores a subject that is not covered by many text books. I learned a leadership skill (leading by questions puts you in control of the conversation). The book is narrated by both authors, so you don't really get a chance to get board; as the book takes you from one story to another.
This is one the best books I bought at Audible :)0 of 0 people found this review helpful
