Book Reviews of Verbal Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion
Book Review: Words: As a deadly weapon.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book that can really help put the words we use into perspective. As a former police officer, George has some great stories and examples of what to and not to say. It is an easy read that I enjoyed. I read it a few chapters at a time to let it al sink in. I highly recommend this for anyone who interacts with other humans in any fashion!
