Have you ever found yourself wishing you would have waited another minute before clicking the send button on an email or hoped you could have snatched those words out of thin air before they reached their intended target? The Boston Globe reported women use 20,000 words a day and men 7,000. It was in 1839 when English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton coined the phrase The pen is mightier than the sword. Spoken or written, words can lift up or tear down. What are you telling yourself? How do you speak to your spouse, your children, friends, and coworkers? How do you allow others to speak to you? The words you use to communicate verbally, in emails, text messaging, or through social media are powerful. They shape you and those around you. Reckless and negative words can spread like a cancer, literally destroying an individual, family, an organization, and even nations. In Did I Just Say That author Jeff Bell offers readers an insightful look at the influence of the words used in their life and he includes some practical steps to tame the muscle that controls much of your lifes outcome.

What Did I Just Say!?!
Author: Denis Donovan, M.D.
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780805065022
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
An invaluable book that does for parents and their young children what You Just Don't Understand did for men and women Did you know that when you say "How many times have I told you not to?" your toddler thinks you are actually changing the subject rather than reiterating a question? Based on years of clinical experience and original child development research, What Did I Just Say!?! shows how conventional communication styles actually prevent parents from saying what they mean and cause children to hear something entirely different than what was intended. The authors demonstrate how a simple understanding of the logic of language and of childhood thinking can dramatically improve parent-child communication. Among the subjects covered are understanding the complex experiential world of young children; putting structure, rules, and boundaries into children's lives while still fostering individuality; encouraging healthy emotional responsiveness and interpersonal sensitivity while decreasing anger and aggression; focusing a child's attention; and foiling behaviors such as tuning out and forgetting. By helping parents understand the very different linguistic and experiential world of children, What Did I Just Say!?! offers a foundation for parent-child communication that will last a lifetime.

Did I Say That Out Loud?
Author: Kristin van Ogtrop
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 0316497487
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
From the former editor-in-chief of Real Simple, enjoy this hilarious and deeply insightful take on the indignities of middle age and how to weather them with grace: "A pure pleasure to read" (Cathi Hanauer, author of Gone). Do you hate the term “middle age?” So does Kristin van Ogtrop, who is still trying to come up with a less annoying way to describe those years when you find yourself both satisfied and outraged, confident and confused, full of appreciation but occasional disdain for the world around you. Like an intimate chat with your best friend, this mostly funny, sometimes sad, always affirming volume from longtime magazine journalist van Ogtrop is a celebration of that period of life when mild humiliations are significantly outweighed by a self-actualized triumph of the spirit. Finally! Featuring stories from her own life, as well as anecdotes from her unwitting friends and family, van Ogtrop encourages you to laugh at the small irritations of midlife: neglectful children, stealth insomnia, forks that try to kill you, t.v. remotes that won’t find Netflix, abdominal muscles that can’t seem to get the job done. But also to acknowledge the things you may have lost: innocence, unbridled optimism, smooth skin. Dear friends. Parents. It’s all here: the sublime and the ridiculous, living together in the pages of this book as they do in your heart, like a big messy family, in this no-better-term-for-it middle age.
