Narrado por: Frank Sesno, Wolf Blitzer

What hidden skill links successful people in all walks of life? What helps them make smart decisions? The answer is surprisingly simple: They know how to ask the right questions at the right time.

Questions help us break down barriers, discover secrets, solve puzzles, and imagine new ways of doing things. But few of us know how to question in a methodical way. Emmy-award-winning journalist and media expert Frank Sesno aims to change that with Ask More.

From questions that cement relationships, to those that help us plan for the future, each chapter in Ask More explores a different type of inquiry. By the end of the book, you'll know what to ask and when, what you should listen for, and what you can expect as the outcome. Packed with illuminating interviews, the book explains:

• How the Gates Foundation used strategic questions to plan its battle against malaria
• How turnaround expert Steve Miller uses diagnostic questions to get to the heart of a company's problems
• How NPR's Terry Gross uses empathy questions to dig deeper
• How journalist Anderson Cooper uses confrontational questions to hold people accountable
• How creative questions animated a couple of techie dreamers to brainstorm Uber

Both intriguing and inspiring, Ask More shows how questions convey interest, feed curiosity, and reveal answers that can change the course of both your professional and personal life.

Ask correctly

This is a book about how to ask, how to avoid confrontation questions and build bridge questions. A book you can listen and read more than once to achieve the goal of asking questions correctly from jobs to daily life.

Helpful and insightful

Good ideas for opening conversations. Great reference for managers, coaches, parents and mentors. Must read.

good book, want a hard copy

the book itself is good and thorough. The problem I had it is that it's not very good one to listen to. It's more of a reference book that I wish I could look back and reference from time to time. Worth the listen though.

Good insightful

Loved it from start to finish. Never a dull moment. The stories were very relevant and thought provoking.
Although we all understand that question asking is important but the book clealry shows it's in art and one that can be learnt and used to do better in every walk of our lives.

Really enjoyed this!

This was a good read. I appreciated the authors great speaking voice and the insight he offered in asking questions that helped you know more and to encourage people to know each other more. If you work with the public or in the helping vocations I recommend this book! Gigi Hill
