This all-purpose A to Z guide lays out the survival situations we’re all likely to face . . . and a few you really probably won’t.
How to Survive Anything deftly balances the survival basics that you really do need to know with the wild and crazy eventualities that you probably don’t. But, on the other hand, who do you want in your bunker? The guy who read up on coping with a total grid failure or the one who didn’t?

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
