Dorothy Leeds discusses her book, “The 7 Powers of Questions.” She begins by breaking her book down into 3 parts: the psychology of how to phrase questions, the psychology of how people answer questions, and how questions can bring a family closer together. She talks about how the way someone phrases a question can make a difference. She says that specificity is the key to getting a good answer, and furthering a conversation. Leeds discusses how important it is for children to ask questions and for parents to provide patient and thoughtful responses. She describes how questions can be handled in the workplace from both employers and employees. She ends the interview by talking about how to avoid asking questions that you already know the answers to.
