Read a sample Read a sample
Find the right words to make a point, seal the deal, or just keep folks listening!
Chosen by the editors of the American Heritage Dictionaries, these words can help anyone who wants to be a more compelling communicator—as a worker, consumer, advocate, friend, dinner companion, or even romantic prospect. The book includes a colorful variety of words, including handy words of just one syllable (such as glib) and words derived from the names of famous people (such as Freudian slip and Machiavellian). There are expressions from popular culture (Catch-22) and words that date back to classical civilization (spartan and stoic).
Each word is clearly defined and shown in context with quotations from magazines, newspapers, broadcast media, movies, and television. For many words, quotations from distinguished authors and speakers are also given and word histories are explained. 100 Words to Make You Sound Smart provides an enjoyable way to communicate more effectively, distinctively, and articulately.
