Book Description
"Questioning" is a skill rarely taught in school, but doing it well - that is, asking the right questions of the right people - can radically transform attitudes, actions, and results. Change Your Questions, Change Your Life provides easy-to-learn tools that can make a significant and immediate difference in people's business and personal lives. Written as an engaging fable, it inspires readers to take charge of their thinking in order to accomplish goals, improve relationships, advance careers, investigate new territories, and in general gain greater life satisfaction. This book explains how to "be your own coach," outlines the author's QuestionThinking Model, and lists the top 12 questions for change. Real-world examples provide practical models for applying the principles in a variety of situations, while a Choice Map is a useful visual tool that demonstrates that everyone has a choice in every situation, even if it is not immediately apparent.

questions are more important than answers.......2007-07-16
If given a difficult problem and 20 hours to solve it, I would spend 19 hours framing the question. This is a paraphrase from Albert Einstein. The way a person approaches life truly defines the outputs that they get out of it. Can 3-5 hours with a book change your life?
A new way to ask what's going on.......2007-03-30
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.
Interesting but I felt it was not what I expected but I did learn a thing or two........2007-01-25
I was looking forward to reading the book. I have always thought that questions, or as the book states, great questions lead to great results were important. At first, I thought the way the book was written as a story was unique. Something like , The Richest Man in Babylon, one of my favorite books regarding financial independence. And yet, I was waiting for the great finale that never came. It was said , the main character, Ben and the company became succesful and it was because of the questions and they gave some examples, I expected more, more details, more information.
That said, it gave some practice exercises that made sense especially the one about the phone ringing, do you answer it , do you wait. When something happens , use the same technique, observe before you do something. And switching from judge to learner was valuable. Ask the right question and switch role which can make a big difference.
There was some great insights regarding questions. And the role you take , as one of Judge or learner was good. I was asking myself during this time, I am judging , how can I change that. How is the person I am interacting with feeling, what are their wants.
I do recommend it , if anything you will be aware of the questions you ask yourself during important decisions and thru out the day.
A MUST Read!.......2007-01-10
This book was easy to read, yet hard to put down. The author does an excellent job bringing you through Ben's journey - you can see the shift in his thinking and how his way of being impacts those around him. The examples of how simply shifting your perspective (or in this case, Question Thinking) can shift your attitude and your experiences are useful personally and professionally. The Judger/Learner concept is a simple yet powerful distinction that I have referred to for coaching clients stuck in moving forward due to living on the Judger path.
Open versus closed.......2006-11-23
The storyline- Ben's crisis - is a very useful means of conveying the message - how we show up at work is how we show up at home. This reinforces the mindset that we are the same person wherever we are - albeit circumstances may dictate variations on the theme.
The Learner vs. Judger model is remniscent with the 90's theme of open thinking vs. closed thinking....however, I see the value of choosing the words Judger and Learner. The charts and graphs were very helpful in making this a useable process to shift thinking in ourselves, at work and at home.
I particularly focused on the questions provided regarding Great results begin with great questions. Will use this premise with my clients.
Thank you, Ms. Adams, for sharing your insight and inspiration.

Customer Reviews:
Educator/College Counselor.......2007-08-23
Finally, a well thought out book for parents thinking about the college process! My favorite story is early in the book setting the tone for a great and helpful read. Early on, the author is clear that the process is out of control for many parents. As the Admissions Director for MIT, she makes it clear not to worry about college until it is time, rather than picking your preschool with intent to head to the IVYies....This book really tells us there is much more to learn on this road and truly this book is all about that journey in a healthier way!
Definitely worth the read.......2007-05-07
I found this book to be useful. The author had several suggestions that we had not thought of and facts we were not aware of. The whole college admissions process is way harder than when I went through it, and I would say, there is a lot of negative as far as I can see. Her book is encouraging that the process can be a positive one, if you can step out of the frenzy that most other kids and parents seem to be embroiled in. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars instead of 5 is because I felt there was some conflicting information between our school's college counselors and her and that's confusing.
Every parent of a high school junior should buy her book today........2007-05-04
Ms. Jones's advice on how the parents of high school juniors and seniors can reduce stress in the college admissions process is spot on.
I was lucky enough to receive Ms. Jones's advice when she spoke to a standing-room-only crowd at our Boston area high school. For those not so lucky, you can obtain the advice in her book, coauthored with pediatrician Kenneth R. Ginsburg.
Parents - and their children - will benefit from Jones's advice for two reasons: 1. Jones explains WHY current parents are so hyper about the admissions process (partly due to the fact that we parents are from the generation which mistakenly believes we can accomplish anything!) 2. And Jones gives practical advice on HOW each parent can reduce their child's stress in the admission process, including actions that can be easily implement right away.

Less Stress, More Success: A New approach to Guiding Your Teen Through College Admissions and Beyond.......2007-02-13
Really grounded for both parents and teens. A must to read before any other books on college, including the guides to colleges. This gets you centered on what is important and aligns your values; then you can focus on the facts about colleges. A great duo.....a college admissions dean and a pediatrician....both care deeply about kids and speak to what they need.
One of two great books for stressed out parents.......2006-08-24
As parents who have seen many of our friends completely lose perspective as their kids apply to college, my wife and decided that we would not go down that road when our time came. Forget all the books that imply they will get your child into a "brand name" school. It's about discovering together a place where they can grow, and strenghtening your relationship as you launch them toward their future. In the name of sanity, I recommend this book (and also a great one our own pediatrician recommended, "Getting In Without Freaking Out.") Stop hovering -- start helping your kids by not imposing your agenda.
Book Description
When you teach a lesson, do your students remember the information the next day? The next week? Will they retain that information long enough to use it on a high-stakes test and, most importantly, will they retain it well enough to make use of it in their lives beyond school?
How to Teach So Students Remember offers seven steps to increase your students' capacity to receive information in immediate memory, act on it in working memory, store it in long-term memory, and retrieve and manipulate it in unanticipated situations--that is, to use what they've learned when they need it.
Step by step, you will discover
* how to reach your students and get them to attend to incoming information;
* how to encourage reflection to better enable students to make connections to prior knowledge;
* how to help students recode new concepts in their own words to clarify their understanding;
* how to use feedback to provide a framework for learning and show the brain what's important to remember;
* how to incorporate multiple rehearsal strategies that provide multiple avenues to stored material;
* how to structure review processes so students retain information beyond the test; and
* how to align instruction, review, and assessment to help students more easily retrieve information.
We all know that some children come to school with their ability to remember information already firmly established; others are not so fortunate. By consciously teaching for memory, we can remediate some of these differences and help students gain confidence in their abilities. By doing so, we will better equip all students to be successful learners, reliable family members, and informed members of society.

Excellent professional resource.......2006-07-30
Marilee Sprenger's latest book is an excellent resource for professional teachers of all levels. Using both personal experience and information gleaned from research, she clearly defines the best practices we need to use to enhance our students' ability to remember. She also puts those methods to practice right in the book - a great way to encourage the reader to learn.
Memory - basic to the learning process.......2006-03-11
This book emphasizes the essential connection between research in cognitive neuroscience and designing effective teaching methods. "Brain compatible teaching works." The book explains seven steps of the learning/memory cycle. Through out the book, important concepts are conveniently labeled as mental notes and are placed in boxed off areas. The book is easy to read and even though it contain terms such as: working memory; visual/spatial intelligence; mind mapping; episodic pathways; procedural memory; and metacognition, it is very applicable to classroom teaching. Appendix A "Brain Briefing" offers an excellent review of basic brain function.

"A bright red scream" is how one of the subjects Marilee Strong interviews in this chilling yet compassionate study of self-mutilation describes the sensation of intentionally inflicting pain upon oneself. It is a compulsion that, while shocking and bewildering to most people, affects 2 million or more Americans and countless others around the globe--one of whom, the late Princess Diana, also suffered from the eating disorders that characterize between 35 to 80 percent of all cutters. Rejecting the classic psychiatric wisdom that views self-mutilation as a species of suicidal behavior, Strong links the phenomenon instead to the will to live--often in the face of such overwhelming childhood abuse that the resulting dissociative behaviors are something akin to posttraumatic stress disorder. Strong touches on other issues as well: Why are most cutters women? And is the current fascination with tattooing and piercing, from its most extreme forms in the "alternative" culture to its growing mainstream acceptance, a sublimation of the cutters' instinct? Through interviews with more than 50 self-injurers, Strong tells the moving story not only of their rage and self-punishment, but also of the courageous journey towards reintegration. (The book also contains an introduction by psychiatrist Armando R. Favazza, author of Bodies Under Seige, one of the leading clinical experts on self-mutilation.) --Patrizia DiLucchio
Book Description
In "an impressive compliment to Mary Pipher's. . . Reviving Ophelia" (Booklist), an award-winning journalist explores one of today's most misunderstood phenomena--self-mutilation
Self-mutilation is a behavior so shocking that it is almost never discussed. Yet estimates are that upwards of eight million Americans are chronic self-injurers. They are people who use knives, razor blades, or broken glass to cut themselves. Their numbers include the actor Johnny Depp, Girl Interrupted author Susanna Kaysen, and the late Princess Diana.
Mistakenly viewed as suicide attempts or senseless masochism--even by many health professionals--"cutting" is actually a complex means of coping with emotional pain. Marilee Strong explores this hidden epidemic through case studies, startling new research from psychologists, trauma experts, and neuroscientists, and the heartbreaking insights of cutters themselves--who range from troubled teenagers to middle-age professionals to grandparents. Strong explains what factors lead to self-mutilation, why cutting helps people manage overwhelming fear and anxiety, and how cutters can heal both their internal and external wounds and break the self-destructive cycle. A Bright Red Scream is a groundbreaking, essential resource for victims of self-mutilation, their families, teachers, doctors, and therapists.
"A compelling tour of the trauma and science of self injury. . . Richly reported and achingly well-written." --Time
"A Bright Red Scream has the hallmark of a classic work on a topic that [is] impossible to ignore." --The San Diego Tribune

Eye Opening.......2007-08-12
THis book reveals the struggle for those unable to express their emotions by any other method. It gives great insight as to how to be supprotive and helpful without judging.
Some questions, and answers, on self-mutilation.......2007-04-06
A reference to this book in a novel I recently read led me to seek out this book for myself.
Many of us will know someone who has self-mutilated. Some of us will have direct experience. Each of us will wonder 'Why?' This book sets out, in a clear easy to read way the views of some professionals. It also sets out, in a clear and non-judgemental fashion, the experiences of some self-mutilators. In seeking to explain, it neither condones nor condemns.
In my view, the book has two primary audiences:those who seek to understand and those who seek to explain such behaviours.
If understanding is the first step towards healing for some, then this book may well provide a welcome step.
Highly recommended to those who seek to understand what is generally seen as either inexplicable or attention-seeking behaviour. In my experience, it is generally neither.
Jennifer Cameron-Smith
excellent- recommend.......2007-02-01
As a pediatric nurse practitioner working with teens, I have seen the increase in self-injury over the last couple of years; most common is cutting. Strong does a tremendous job of conveying the feelings and emotions that I often hear the girls and boys I care for reiterate. With a section by Dr. Favarro who has done countless studies and publications on adolescent cutting, this book is highly recommended for any practitioner trying to learn more their patients, parents trying to understand why their child is self-injuring, or anyone who is interested in the world of self-mutilation. Thank you Ms. Strong for a commendable resource on SI.
Boring..........2006-04-12
I've been cutting myself since I was 14, now I'm 24. I'm currently writing my own book about self-injury and personally I felt this book was boring. I pushed myself to continue to read it and by the end of the book it ended up being just another book on my shelf.
I wouldn't recommend this book to people, self-injurers or non-self-injurers.
I believe the stories that were told within the book had a lot of the same storyline. I would've liked to have read different types of stories. The majority of the stories were about those who were abused. Not every self-injurer was abused. Some just had troubling pasts like myself that weren't able to cope with life.

Powerful and informative read.......2006-02-14
this book was recommended to me by a patient who struggled with self-injurious behavior. i thank him to this day and have recommended the book to numerous patients and parents of adolescents who self-mutilate. this book is a graphic and eye-opening depiction of the epidemic that self-mutilation has become. notions of self-injury as strictly "attention seeking" are outdated, and this book explores the origins of self-mutilation, its reinforcing value for the injurer, and ways in which sufferers have conquered this seemingly compulsive behavior. it's also a great resource for friends and family members of those who self-injure, as it sheds some light on the inner workings of these individuals and can, thereby, create increased understanding and empathy for the psychological and emotional struggles that underlie self-mutilation. though self-mutilation can be seen as a very primitive behavior, it's expression can be very complicated and not easily understood by those who have never felt such intense emotionality. this is a highly recommended read. as others have noted, however, this book is not for the faint of heart. i also appreciated conterio and lader's book entitled *bodily harm: the breakthrough healing program for self-injurers.*
Book Description
Half the households in America include an animal companion. Yet, each year, community shelters take in six to eight million unwanted dogs and cats who face an uncertain fate. With compelling photos and moving vignettes, this book chronicles the true stories of 75 animals who entered a typical U.S. animal shelter during one week witnessed and documented by the authors.

It's such a good book. Many stories are sad, but it also offers real hope as to what we as individuals can do. Highly recommended. You'll go back to it when you find you need inspiration.
Review of One at a Time.......2007-05-13
As someone who has adopted 3 animals from a shelter, I appreciated this book thoroughly. This book puts names and faces together while also educating the reader about the importance of adopting from your local animal shelter. The theme of this book is you can actually save a life. There are heartwarming stories alongside tragic ones. If you want to learn more about the animals at the shelter and their stories this book is for you.
Tough Topic Handled Well.......2007-04-16
This is a very difficult book to read as it covers all kinds of situations that occur in an animal shelter, including details of the euthanasia of animals that simply don't deserve to die. There are many hopeful and heartwarming stories along with those of heartless and selfish owners. Make sure you are in the correct frame of mind when you read this to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Some of the pictures are explicit. However, the subject is covered very well with some very good information and statistics.
INCREDBLE book!.......2006-12-09
I read it in one night . . tears pouring down my face! How could a book do this to me? Because it's real . . . it's true! Some of the truths in this book are shameful. This book is unforgiving. This needed to be written . . . and it needed to do done with this much dignity and heart. Compassion . . kindness, why is it so hard? This book yanks at your emotions to teach us compassion . . it allows the animals to teach compassion to us through their lives and yes, deaths. Hopefully their lives will not be in vain, and we can learn compassion in their honor to not only other animals, but maybe they can show us that all lives are important. From shelters where animals are victims to injustices to Rwanda / Darfur and the like. This book is absoltely incredible. Thanks to the writers who had the balls to write it and then fight hard to get it on the streets. Thanks to the beautiful souls of the animals.
Companion animal euthanasia; a worldwide epidemic........2006-11-04
I volunteer in an animal shelter in Australia. A vet at the shelter loaned me a copy of One at a Time: A Week in an Americal Shelter as she thought I would appreciate the content. Appreciate is an understatement...what I thought was exclusive to our shelter proved to me that the reality of these animals circumstances is a worldwide epidemic NOT exclusive to Australia. The stories are written with honesty and in an uncomplicated fashion accompanied by touching photographs. These animals and their circumstances could be at my shelter. In many ways I found this read comforting, however, if you're not already working or volunteering within a shelter environment, it could be quite confronting. I bought several copies to share amongst colleagues at our shelter.

Great Pitch for Long Term Care Insurance (Not so great on other issues.).......2007-04-28
I am a huge fan of the Dummies series. I own this book and had great hopes for a nice, clear, cogent and get-down-to business book on the subject of long-term care planning. Man was I disappointed! This book should instead be called The Complete Idiot's Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance. If you are looking for information on long-term care insurance then this is the book for you. I learned things I did not previously know about long-term care insurance from this book. If you are looking for other options, though, including how Medicaid can be used to pay the cost of nursing home and assisted living care may I suggest The Medicaid Handbook 2007 as a clear and concise up-to-date guide on using Medicaid in long-term care planning.
Praise for Marilee's LTC Book.......2006-11-19
I needed information on Long Term Care, not only from a prospective of Insurance Options but on other options and programmes out there. Well, this is the one book which provides a really good overall view into this interesting topic.
I would advise not only consumers but financial professionals to read this book, and use it as a gift to clients!

Long Term Care Lessons for the Long Term Care Nurse.......2006-05-26
I am an RN who works with Medicare and nursing home residents. I know for a fact that most people I talk to are astounded to find out that Medicare pays for a very small portion of a person's stay in a nursing home - if anything at all. I learned so much from this book and so will you.

Everything you need to know to help you wade through the morass of details involved in choosing long term care insurance. The author has done an excellent job of organizing her subject and making it easy to navigate from one topic to another. Although is is best to read the book from begininng to end, it is designed such that the reader can skip sections and hone in on the subjects of primary interest. All in all an excellent, thorough, and easy to understand treament of a relatively complicated subject.

This study guide is an essential addition to the Fundamentals of Nursing textbook. Using the two simultaneously can only multiply retention.
satisfied student.......2005-10-19
thank you for exchanging my Fundamentals book, the first one was missing chapters and when notified you all your quick response was awsome......thank you again. Celia Garcia
Love this book.......2003-01-03
Okay, maybe it's just because our nursing director helped write the book, but we all love it. The questions at the end of chapter are theory based questions that are very similar to the NCLEX. Our school has a 98% pass rate on the NCLEX and we owe a lot of it to the practice in answering questions in this book and the study guide for this book. I would highly recommend this book even if you don't need it for your school. At least get it from the library for the questions.
required text for nursing class.......2001-12-21
The information in the book is scattered throughout, making studying difficult. Critical thinking was not encouraged and nursing diagnosis was not included in each discussion area.I would not recommend this book.
Required text for New Zealand Nursing school.......2001-04-12
This book was actually a required text for my course. So far I am finding it really helpful in learning the basics of nursing such as taking Blood Pressures. However, as I am from New Zealand and the book is published in America, some of the terminology is different. Also, the illustrations in the book are old and are the same ones that were used in earlier editions - I felt as if more modern illustrations could have been included although the illustrations serve their purpose. Overall, a fairly good book.
