How Far Will You Go?: Questions to Test Your Limits

Author: James Saywell, Evelyn McFarlane

Publisher: Villard (1999)

Binding: Hardcover, 144 pages

"How Far Will You Go? is a fun and thought provoking book filled with up to 500 questions that enable the reader to explore the world around them and to remember the weirdest, greatest, scariest and funniest moments of their lives. Some of my personal favorite questions are “What’s the furthest you’ve ever pushed yourself physically?” and “What is the biggest lie you’ve ever told?”
