Synopsis

The secret to finding out anything you want to know is amazingly simple: Ask good questions. Most people trip through life asking bad questions--of teachers, friends, coworkers, clients, prospects, experts, and suspects. Even people trained in questioning, such as journalists and lawyers, commonly ask questions that get partial or misleading answers.

People in any profession will immediately benefit by developing the skill and art of good questioning. Find Out Anything From Anyone, Anytime will give you the power to:

Identify and practice good questioning techniques
Recognize types of questions to avoid
Know the questions required when hearing unconfirmed reports or gossip
Practice good listening techniques and exploit all leads
Determine when and how to control the conversation
Gain real expertise fast

Within professional interrogation circles, Pyle is known as a strategic debriefer--meaning there is no one around him more skilled at asking questions and getting answers. He has been training other interrogators in questioning techniques since 1989.

Goodreads review by Matt on December 01, 2018

Absolutely the worst audiobook for me in 2018. Horrible, mono-tone almost computer read. The strategy and questions are sound, but he covers everything you need to know (and quite frankly already knew, but you just needed to be reminded) in the first ~3 chapters. All content past that are examples.......more

Goodreads review by Vaw on August 18, 2024

Buen libro para aquel que quiera ahondar mas en el arte de hace preguntas. Los últimos capítulos fueron los más útiles para mi ya que el autor dabe ejemplos e ideas sobre hacer preguntas en el día a día, recalcando que las preguntas en el nivel personal son para generar conexión con la gente (a difer......more

Goodreads review by Dave on October 22, 2019

A great book for an overview of asking the proper questions for discover and revealing information held by another person. The only problem with this book is that most of it applies to interrogation techniques and approaches. The fundamental question, "What next?" facilitates exploration of key topi......more
