Never stop questioning!
One of the invigorating attributes of this book is causing people to think, to reflect and indeed to question. It is only by questioning that we can learn answers.To borrow a song title from the Go-Go's I am the 'Girl of 100 Lists' so this is right up my alley. I'm choosing to start with #160 because that is the current day of the year.'What is the human trait, behavior, or attitude that you most struggle to tolerate'? An apt question in these times (as well as in any times).I look forward the journey this book will take me on

Questions for Self-Reflection are always a +
57. Love is to take something as a part of yourself.Just like love would have the need to understand someone, to accept someone, to even possess someone or something as a part of you, it is to own and see the reflection of yourself in another thing or being that makes up what is the whole of you.There are some good questions in here. Excited for you for having put this together Dave, and am looking forward to asking myself some questions in my self-reflection. After all, knowledge + experience + self-reflection = wisdom!

Truly eye-opening and self-informing
The questions posed in this book really encourage self-exploration. I like how it gets me to really question my understanding of myself. This book is less one that you just read through and more of one that you revisit to continue learning about yourself. I know that I will be revisiting these questions, probably forever.

Question Yourself to Know Yourself
Socrates enjoined us, “Know thyself.” He helped his followers achieve greater understanding by using what we call, “the Socratic method,” questions designed to reveal fundamental truths. We are more likely to retain and benefit from insights we have reached that way than those spoon-fed to us.This excellent new book by David Edelstein and I. C. Robledo, entitled Question Yourself: 365 Questions to Explore Yourself & Reveal Your True Nature brings the Socratic method to the modern audience in paperback or Kindle ebook format, at bargain prices at amazon.com. I bought the Kindle version, which is well done, and I might want to get the paperback, too, because of its useful format.With “365 Questions” and 365 days in the year (except leap years, giving us an extra day to take a break from soul-searching), it is natural to set out to answer one question per day, and most convenient to write one’s answer in the space provided under the question in the paperback version.There are 11 topics, although that fact is not revealed until the end of the book: Identity, Relating to Others, Love, Action, Ethics, Spirituality, Feelings, Knowledge and Learning, Money, Truth, and Time. For example, there are 14 questions relating to Truth (an issue I find very important) and 35 relating to Money (not a big interest of mine). Other topics having particularly many questions include Identity, Relating to Others, and Ethics. Page by page, the questions are not segregated by topic, so one encounters a variety of topics day by day, although one can find all the numbered questions listed by topic at the book’s end.To give the flavor of the book, I start with question #1, “Are you ultimately defined by your strengths or by your weaknesses?” Hmm. My youth was defined by success in school (and not in sports) and my career (environmental science research and teaching) defined by scientific and writing aptitude. It would have helped to have been handsome. Now, my physical weaknesses/limitations are more influential. “Define” seems to come from the same linguistic roots as “finite” and “final” and relates to endings and boundaries.How about the next question, “What was a great mistake you made which ended up having a positive outcome.” Easy: married the wrong woman the first time and married the right one after that first marriage failed.Here’s #350, “How does almost dying change things?” I’d say: you understand not to sweat the small stuff…and most of the stuff is small!You get the idea…and pondering the questions will generate more ideas.Besides the questions, the authors offer links to additional helpful tools, and they welcome correspondence from their readers. I.C. Robledo lists and links to over a dozen of his books from which to obtain further guidance and insight. David Edelstein and Robledo both welcome your email.The book is a bargain in either paperback or ebook format. Not to be missed.

FANTASTIC
Brilliant questions, a great mix of easy to answer and deeply ponderous. Perfect for getting to know yourself better, and had some great chats with friends about what their answers would be. Since they come from a book you don't need to worry about asking "too deep" questions, you just ask the question for that dayI use a voice note app to record my answers, as they're longer that the few lines of space you get in the book (which is actually probably fine for a lot of people and lets you see more questions per page). Doing those voice memos has been great for learning how to vocalise my ideas and has helped me grow as a speaker
