The Question Book: Pick Your Three

The Question Book: What Makes You Tick? (2012) by Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschäppeler is exactly what you'd expect from its title; it is a series of provocative questions that explore who you really are, how you see the world, and how others see you. And then there are sillier chapters, like Pick Your Three. I thought it would be fun to share the questions and my answers with you like it's 2003 MySpace all over again.

If there is a one-in-a-million chance for a critical error to happen to anyone, then you can be sure that it has happened to me. Twice.
