The word is not a sparrow. Speak what you mean, strengthen relationships, and get to the point

In this book, writer, translator, and journalist Will Gelbert explains how to cleanse speech of verbal clutter and learn to express thoughts clearly — in order to establish deep connections with others. The way we speak affects the impression we make — our words can either attract and engage those around us or repel and alarm them.
You will learn...
— Which words are 'weak' and which are 'strong'.
— Why the predominance of verbs, nouns, or adjectives in speech has completely different impacts on those around us.
— Why many are irritated by small talk and how it can be made more interesting and useful.
— How different words emotionally bring us closer or, on the contrary, separate us from loved ones.
The author analyzes modern speech — from everyday conversations to the scandalous tweets of Donald Trump. He offers recommendations for improving language so that you can communicate more effectively and pleasantly at home, at work, and on the internet.
