Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear
In Words That Work, Luntz offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the tactical use of words and phrases affects what we buy, who we vote for, and even what we believe in. With chapters like "The Ten Rules of Successful Communication" and "The 21 Words and Phrases for the 21st Century," he examines how choosing the right words is essential.
Nobody is in a better position to explain than Frank Luntz: He has used his knowledge of words to help more than two dozen Fortune 500 companies grow. He'll tell us why Rupert Murdoch's six-billion-dollar decision to buy DirectTV was smart because satellite was more cutting edge than "digital cable," and why pharmaceutical companies transitioned their message from "treatment" to "prevention" and "wellness."
If you ever wanted to learn how to talk your way out of a traffic ticket or talk your way into a raise, this book's for you.

and too many that don't
Save your money. Mr Luntz has loaded this tome with lots of pointless trivia. There is a table of jargon along with their meanings. Did you know that "bling" means bright , flashy jewelry? Or how about this brilliant insight,"What's particularly...

Business People Should Read This Book!
Over the years I have read more business books than I care to remember. I am a "business book junkie" of sorts. While this is not "per se" a business book, it should be read by "business people." Why? Because business (marketing, selling,...

Words that Work
This is a phenomenal book. I have been looking for practical books on rhetoric for a few years and this is the best one I have found to date. I HIGHLY recommend this book for those who love words and using them to motivate people.

Has anyone noticed...?
Has anyone noticed that this book's cover eerily resembles the original cover of George Orwell's book, 1984? Dr. Luntz has cited Orwell many times in various interviews. Perhaps the similarities are more than mere coincidence.
