Doesn’t Hurt to Ask by Trey Gowdy

The next book I will be covering explains how to become a master of persuasion by asking all of the right questions and teaches how intentional questions are the key to sharing your ideas, connecting with your audience, and convincing people of your way of thinking whether you’re in the office or at home.

Convincing people to change their minds about anything is hard. Especially when there are strong convictions involved. Trey Gowdy is a former Congressman and Prosecutor, and he knows firsthand how difficult it can be to persuade people to see things the way you do.

Doesn’t Hurt to Ask: Using the Power of Questions to Communicate, Connect, and Persuade, Trey Gowdy uses his experience to teach the subtle art of persuasion through asking questions. He explains that a good question can help you effectively communicate your thoughts to your audience and win people over.

It doesn’t just work in courtrooms or in Congress, either. No matter what setting you find yourself in, whether you’re in the boardroom or at family dinner, you can learn how to nudge people in your direction by asking the right questions. Using these skills, he promises you can improve your argumentative power in every area of your life.
