Recommendation
Words are the building blocks of all communication, yet people seldom consider the degree to which their choice of words can change the effect and efficacy of a message. Jonah Berger, a language processing expert, uses new tools such as automated text analysis to explain how you can influence, persuade, engage or even write a chart hit simply by substituting one word or phrase for another. He identifies six categories of “magic” words that will boost your communication prowess – helping you better motivate teammates, strengthen relationships and even get five-year-olds to put their toys away.
