Gregory Stock

7PM MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4 Dr. Gregory Stock: The Book of Questions Dr. Gregory Stock visits with The Book of Questions, an updated and revised version of his New York Times bestselling original book, published in 1987.

A book for personal growth, a tool to deepen relationships, a lively conversation starter, or a fun way to pass the time, The Book of Questions poses over 300 questions that invite people to explore the most fascinating of subjects: themselves and how they really feel about the world. This revised edition includes more than 100 all-new questions that delve into such topics as the disappearing border between man and machine, the challenges of being a parent, the endlessly interesting topic of sex, and of course the meaning of it all.

We look forward to welcoming Dr. Stock and we’re very excited to partner with one of our favorite community organizations, Camp for All! He asks the kinds of questions that make you think and grow. Here’s an example: If you were handed an envelope with the date of your death inside, and you knew you could do nothing to alter your fate, would you look? Are you ready?

Book:

Ask your friends. Ask your parents. Ask someone you hardly know. The Book of Questions gives you permission to ask those things that are too bold, too embarrassing, or just too difficult to ask by yourself. You will find questions of integrity; of sex; of what you would do for money; even things too personal to talk about out loud. Whether you use it as a tool for self discovery, or as a provocative way to stimulate conversation, this book constantly challenges attitudes, morals, beliefs-and it challenges you.

What: Dr. Gregory Stock will discuss and sign his book, The Book of Questions.

When: Wednesday, September 11, 7:00 p.m.
