“Long ago, someone wrote the words ‘Questions are the Answer.’ Those simple words have had a major impact on my life and greatly contributed to whatever success i have had. Because the more often we ask questions of ourselves and anyone we are having a business or personal relationship with, the more can can learn. The better the question, the more meaningful the answers will be. But how to find those questions? Catherine’s marvelous book is a very meaningful answer. Reading this, you will find page after page of powerful questions, accompanied with thoughtful commentary from Catherine. I found this book to be extremely helpful, especially as I go back to it to re-ask myself many questions that triggered great answers. Going back to those same questions has given me even more useful answers. Read this book-several times. Give it to as a special gift to those people you care about the most. You will be very glad you did-as will your friends.”

“I think all readers should be made aware that this book is not whatever you may be thinking in the back of your minds. The content is more in depth than its title implies on the surface. As you begin to read and analyze the questions posed, the author does an outstanding job in helping the reader to put things into perspective. To my amazement, every question we may have pondered or those questions we never asked, were exposed, dissected and analyzed for us at a different angle. It allows room for the reader to view things from a broader focus.
222 Questions is a fairly quick and easy read. Craven definitely doesn’t waste time dwelling on each question to the point of squeezing it dry. She provides clear and concise analogies and a wealth of insightful and powerful information. I appreciate how the book was formatted into several categories and each group of questions were relevant to a specific category. It’s very well-organized; for example, Craven’s chapter on perceptions shifts the readers’s focus to questions that are clearly based on how we perceive things such as “Does one attempt the unknown without a guide?” This is just one of many powerful questions she asks, then leaves room for the reader to marinate on it. As if our curiosities have not been stroked enough, she gets knee deep into the theory of the ego and poses one of many questions as to why we put ego in front of intelligence.
I must admit that I did not expect 222 Questions to be such a powerful and insightful tool. I was initially expecting random juvenile questions but ended up with a thought-provoking power source. By the end of the book, I began to really analyze my self and my inner-being. In my opinion, this book is the new Secret. These questions serve to guide us through analyzing how we think and to learn how to re-think. You may find yourselves revisiting those chapters that are more specific to your personal self or that you are able to relate to. I gladly give this book five stars.”
