Synopsis

Of the roughly thirty-thousand words you will speak today, imagine if just a handful of them could save a life ... ... or heal a broken heart ... or inspire a vision that would shape the course of history. Today is your opportunity to speak---or write---words of incalculable potential for good. With simple action points and colorful stories, this inspiring book will help you weed out sticks-and-stones negativism and unleash the surpassing, life-giving, destiny-shaping power of positive words. What does it take for your words to make a difference? Perhaps a simple thank-you letter. Maybe an encouraging email. Or a simple hello, a thoughtful phone call, a note written on the back of a family photograph ... the possibilities are endless. Sticks and Stones shows you the power and importance of your words, and how to use the right words to have a positive impact beyond anything you can imagine.
