Description

Supercharge your speech to get what you want out of every conversation with this fun and practical guide to verbal vividness.
 
“Word Wise: Say What You Mean, Deepen Your Connections, and Get to the Point” is a self-help book written by an expert in communication and interpersonal relationships. It teaches readers how to use language more effectively. The book covers a wide range of topics, including:
● How to choose the right words
● How to avoid filler words
● How to use active voice
● How to be more concise
● How to use humor and storytelling
 
The author emphasizes the importance of clear and effective communication in all aspects of life, whether it’s personal relationships, professional interactions, or everyday conversations. The book begins by exploring the obstacles that hinder effective communication, such as misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and the fear of expressing oneself openly.
 
An eye-opening guide on how we talk and write to one another, Word Wise explores 400+ of the most common cases of word trash (filler words, hyperbole, and abstractions) and word power (verbs of action, ear candy, onomatopoeia). Examining social media, the language of Donald Trump, AI language research, and heard-on-the-street lingo, communication expert Will Jelbert offers simple and concrete recommendations for improving your own vernacular.


With wit, practical applications, and a small dose of grammar, Word Wise will help you communicate more effectively at home, at work, and online. Besides, Jelbert provides clear and concise explanations of each topic, and he offers practical exercises to help readers practice what they’ve learned. The book is full of examples of effective and ineffective communication, and Jelbert’s insights are both insightful and entertaining.
 
“Word Wise” also offers a step-by-step approach to help readers become more articulate, empathetic, and persuasive in their communication. It provides practical exercises and examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed throughout the book. The author encourages readers to be mindful of their words, tone, and body language, as these elements greatly impact the message they convey.
 
The book also delves into the importance of active listening and understanding others’ perspectives. It teaches readers how to listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and show genuine interest in the opinions and experiences of others. By practicing active listening, readers can strengthen their connections with people, build trust, and foster empathy.
 
Furthermore, “Word Wise” explores the art of concise and impactful communication. The author helps readers identify common communication pitfalls such as rambling, excessive use of jargon, and unnecessary verbosity. Through practical tips and exercises, readers learn how to express their thoughts and ideas concisely, ensuring their message is clear and easily understood.
 
In addition to interpersonal communication, the book also addresses digital communication in the age of technology. It provides guidance on navigating the challenges of online conversations, including managing conflicts, dealing with misunderstandings, and maintaining authenticity in digital interactions.
 
By implementing the strategies and techniques outlined in “Word Wise,” readers can expect to enhance their communication skills, build stronger relationships, and achieve more effective outcomes in their personal and professional lives. The book empowers individuals to express themselves with clarity and confidence, fostering deeper connections and understanding with those around them.
 
“Will Jelbert is a Marie Kondo for language: challenging our worst habits and offering a way through the clutter.”
— Kate Riordan, The Guardian
