And Liam Bailey—sweet-talking, complicated son of a well-known local politician—isn't part of those plans. But Liam doesn't give up easily.

Words: Spoken and Unspoken Forces by Anita Saleem - Review

Words: Spoken and Unspoken Forces provides the key to understanding the secret power of words and traces how this power is activated by drawing references from various authors and experts in psychology, philosophy, medicine, and semiotics.

The author presents a theoretical model to understand why words affect individuals by suggesting that words color emotions, shape behaviors, and influence physiological functioning to create an overall impact (whether positive or negative). Drawing upon several scientific studies, this book will help the reader understand why words are spoken and unspoken forces that have the potential to shape the future.

My Thoughts: This book was highly informative on how words, both the ones we speak and the ones we don't can affect our lives. The entire book was well thought out and researched, and all of the sources were included to back up what the author was saying.

I found myself truly considering how my words were effecting myself and my family. It was an interesting and enlightening read for me. I also considered how things I'd been told in my past had helped create who I am today. The best part was that I can take away that changing the way I think and speak can impact my life for the better.

This book takes readers through everything from positive thinking to the Word of God. It discusses how being positive with children can greatly increase their chances a success in life. I think that a wide variety of people would enjoy this book. It is short, but full of facts and information.
