   Simple and small book that pierces right through the curious mind, awakening the ones that seek to understand a subject or person instead of opting for the easy option of judging what one doesn’t understand. Thanks!!!

   Following the current election (no matter what the outcome), the major problem seemed to be lack of healthy dialogue that would combat the stalemate and inaction of the USA. I read a biography on Benjamin Franklin who was a great advocate of Socratic thinking and use it when communicating. I have been concerned as to how I contribute to this stalemate and thought perhaps a book on Socratic thinking and dialogue might assist me in opening up a conversation with people who have opposite political orientation without either of us becoming defensive and distrusting. I have found the book to be very useful, not only in directing my conversation with others but also in disciplining myself in how I arrived at conclusions.

   Since most useful information is not written down and probably never will be, asking questions is so important and probably a major distinguishing feature of the well versed. Responses and their accuracy tell us so much about others.

   For over 2500 years the preferred method for teaching students of all ages was the Socratic method. Then we allowed the psychologists to tell us there were newer, better ways to both teach andl earn. The result is an educational system in a constant state of war against itself as evert few years educators cluch at the feeble straw of salvation offered by the newest "GURU" of the month!
   
   Isn't it time we went back to what works! To what has a proven track record of success?
   
   This book shows the way!

   Excellent work on how to lead a class in Socratic Questioning. Does not provide generic advice but rather gets to the heart of what it means to question Socratically through specific examples and actual transcripts between teachers and students.
