What it is

By applying techniques the author developed as a legendary military interrogator to everyday life, readers will learn how to ask the right questions, the right way, to get what they want.

What do most human interactions have in common? They often require us to ask questions. Unfortunately, most people are really bad at asking questions. We try accusing, demanding, inducing guilt, and, worst of all, applying logic. These methods cause resentment, distrust, and fear, and ruin relationships.

But what if there was a way to quickly learn how to get better at asking questions from one of the world’s most renowned experts? Killer Questions is a fascinating journey into the art of asking the right questions the right way, written by Retired Air Force Major Tony Camerino, a prolific former senior military interrogator best known for turning the most hardened members of Al Qaeda and finding the father of ISIS, Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Camerino shares his revolutionary, cutting-edge questioning techniques based on 25 years of field experience and instruction.

Killer Questions is not just a book about interrogating criminals or terrorists. It’s a guide for how to effectively question anyone in your life and how to be a better communicator so you can improve all of your human interactions.

After finishing this book, readers will be able to: • Effectively get information out of anyone while nurturing healthy relationships • Close the biggest sale of their career and set-up the next bigger one • Earn the promotion they deserve • Evaluate their own prejudices and biases • Realize that a questioner’s greatest strength is humility • Conduct the most important interrogation of their life: of themselves
