Makes One Think: Is That Bad
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The thing I liked about this book is it made you think about how you would answer each question not only before and after you initally read the questio but after you read the ansewer from the other repsondents. I bought several of these books as gifts so I was able to have discussions on the book and it was interesting to see how they reacted. Some had the same position as myself, while other thought it was a "negative" book based on the answers of the respondenets. Overall I would recommend this book as a gift.
great book!
