Media Reviews

"Extraordinary...I don't know anyone whose life would not be blessed by this book."    -- Harold S. Kushner

"Incisive and unique...If more congressmen, senators, presidents, and journalists took Telushkin's message to heart, we'd live in a more just world."    -- Jack Kemp

Erudite, insightful yet punchy...Telushkin delivers a necessary tongue-lashing fro a culture that needs to lash its tongue."

   -- Kirkus

Publisher's Notes

This book guides us through the many dilemmas we face when we talk about others--through gossip, rumor, and private revelation--and to others--through anger criticism, humiliation, and lying--and shows us how to incorporate these lessons on the power of words into our daily lives

Boards are straight, tips are pointed, spine is square, and pages are clean. DJ is Fine! In protective sleeve. An excellent gift! Over the past decade, whenever I have lectured throughout the country on Words that Hurt, Words that Heal, How to choose Words Wisely and Well. I've asked my listeners if they can go for twenty-four hours without saying any kind words about, or to, anybody. Invariably a minority raise their hands indicating yes, some people laugh, while quite a lot of people call out, No! All of those who can't answer yes, must realize what a serious problem you have, I tell them. You have lost control over your tongue. Like the alcoholic or nicotine addict who cannot go twenty-four hours without a drink or without a cigarette. You have lost control of your tongue. (From Introduction) . (more information)
