    March 30, 2007: Marilee G. Adams found that she could generate positive changes in her behavior and productivity by changing the defensive questions that she previously asked in the face of adversity. Analyzing those protective questions showed her that she took setbacks and criticism too personally. Asking different questions enabled her to reframe each moment and create growth opportunities. Adams illustrates the problem-solving power of honest curiosity. Her 'QuestionThinking' method generates practical ways to change your mind, literally. These are great ideas however, their repetition within a fictional storyline may annoy some readers, while others may like this allegorical approach to telling the tale. The self-questioning techniques are easy to employ, and will help you examine situations from different points of view, which can come in quite handy. We recommend adding this set of tools to your interpersonal communication toolkit.

    September 28, 2006: I read it in two sittings and came away very imp ressed. Adams showed how these principles worrk in both a professional setting add a personal setting. I liked how she talked about cultivating the observer withhin. It did leave me with this question: why not discuss seeing likfe through the third?person perspective? Doesn?t that practice autoatically make one more obser vant of oneself? Why were these seven tools left unnumbered? Isn?t it wiseer to encourage readers to focus on developing one practice at a time? In reality, few people will adopt this system totally. Most will use only those techniiques that apply to their particular situation and needs. Despite these shortcomings, this book has several good points. I liked the Choice Map on pp. 32-33. Thaat did a lot to clarify the material. And if I had only seen that, I would have been helped immensely. Her focuus on oly thse seven tools make the book stronger and more accessible to readers. Thank you, Marilee fo this great book.
