An eye-opening guide on how we talk and write to one another, Word Wise explores 400+ of the most common cases of word trash (filler words, hyperbole, and abstractions) and word power (verbs of action, ear candy, onomatopoeia). Examining social media, the language of Donald Trump, AI language research, and heard-on-the-street lingo, communication expert Will Jelbert offers simple and concrete recommendations for improving your own vernacular.
With wit, practical applications, and a small dose of grammar, Word Wise will help you communicate more effectively at home, at work, and online.
Will Jelbert is a communications consultant and coach working with both companies and individuals. He has spent the last eight years researching how to connect well, and he interviews thought leaders, authors, and filmmakers and writes for MindBodyGreen (with a readership of 15 million+ globally) and Arianna Huffington's Thrive Global.
