But in this jewel of an audiobook, Hal Urban -- parent, award-winning teacher, and author of the classic Life's Greatest Lessons - shows us simple and immediate ways that we can use language to change lives - both our own and those around us.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Always a great read / listen! Loved having the audio version to listen to as I have a paperback copy at home but dont always have time to read it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Highly inspirational and easy to follow practical advise. A must read for all humanity.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very simple but on the whole wonderful book about the capacity of positive words to change people's mental horizons and their relationships with other people. I picked up a lot of good quotes and thoughts from it.A couple of minor points, the author confuses the history of the spoken and written language at the start. He also probably lays it on a bit thick with the 1960s bashing. But these were very minor points.
