The book includes a workbook of QuestionThinking tools. Change Your Questions, Change Your Life outlines simple, powerful tools for letting go of entrenched attitudes that hold us back. It helps us open ourselves to fresh perspectives, new possibilities, and positive actions. We have only to ask the right questions to begin. Marilee G Adams, PhD
