The secret to finding out anything you want to know is amazingly simple: Ask good questions. Most people trip through life asking bad questions - of teachers, friends, coworkers, clients, prospects, experts, and suspects. Even people trained in questioning, such as journalists and lawyers, commonly ask questions that get partial or misleading answers. People in any profession will immediately benefit by developing the skill and art of good questioning.

Getting someone to tell the truth is an essential skill that very few people possess. In the boardroom, the classroom, or our own homes, every day we interact with others and try to get the truth from them. People are often untruthful out of fear of negative consequences associated with divulging information. But if a person is made to forget the long-term outcomes, he or she can be influenced to disclose sensitive information that's being withheld.

Good Stuff!
I read and listen to a lot of these educational texts, most are not that good. This one was wrote very well and the voice here was so easy to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to learn more about investigations. I am a seasoned investigator and even though this was meant for more of an entry level crowd, I truly enjoyed it and learned from it as well. Bravo!
