Late Night Talks / Talks That Matter

The goal of this book is to get to know the people who are closest to you – grandparents, parents, children, grandchildren, siblings, or a partner – in a deeper and more personal way. The questions are tailored to each relationship.

How it works: One person holds the book, while the other names a random number within the category. The person holding the book then looks up the chosen number and reads it aloud. Both or all participants should answer the question. Once the question is answered, the book is passed to the next person, and the process repeats.

Alternatively, the questions can simply be answered in order without choosing a random number. There may be questions that the participants can not or does not want to answer. That’s fine. Just move on to the next question. Some questions are not clearly defined and leave room for interpretation. In these cases, you can decide for yourselves what they mean.

The questions touch on topics such as everyday life, dreams, memories, and values. Get comfortable, grab a drink, and look forward to meaningful conversations that bring you closer to each other.
