Since I have lived my entire adult life asking people questions, in 2013, I did a 360-degree turnabout and decided to ask myself questions. Readers interested in knowing what makes my mind tic should compare their answers with mine. The experience could be a revelation.

When I came home from school as a teenager, my father would say, "Did you ask a good question today?" He convinced me that a good question outweighs most answers. Good questions invigorate lazy minds and pique the imagination.

Unlike the traditional novel, this book requires little patience, accommodates a short attention span, and challenges the reader's open-mindedness. Its brevity also makes it less intimidating.

My hope is that readers will discover some of their hidden attitudes, values, and beliefs. Sharing them with others will make the experience doubly enjoyable.

This is the perfect book for an intellectually bored individual. In it, the author shares a serendipitous collection of his thoughts on a wide variety of conventional and unconventional topics. Professor Eisenberg has spent the past six decades challenging his students to think outside the proverbial box. Whenever he would ask them a question, and they answered, "I don't know," he would say,"I know that you don't know, but what do you think?" Using this Socratic Method opened their minds and encouraged them to take risks. Convinced that a good question outweighs a hundred trite answers, the author has included a section of the book in which he asks himself a question and then proceeds to answer it. His favorite question is, "What one word best describes your life?" His answer was, "Creative." The reader should come away from this book with a deeper understanding of why he chose the title, "Welcome to my mind." He enthusiastically agrees with the following quotation. "Whatever we possess becomes double value when we have the opportunity of sharing it with others." Jean-Nicholas Bouilly (1763-1842)
