Sleight of Mouth refers to linguistic patterns that particularly showcase the magic of words and language. Language, one of the central components in the development of our mental models of the world, has a significant influence on how we perceive reality and how we respond to it. Unfortunately, words can confuse and limit us just as easily as they can empower us. This book is about the power of words, both positive and negative, the distinctions that determine the impact words have on us, and the linguistic patterns through which we can transform harmful statements into useful ones. Sleight of Mouth helps you say the right thing at the right moment.
