Review of Magic Words: 101 Ways to Talk Your Way Through Life's Challenges (Hardcover)

This book is a very easy to read little set of "wise" tidbits, told through anecdotes (mostly about very "improtant" multi millionaires and anonomous famous people. The book is broken up into three sections: Magic words to say to yourself; Magic words you say to others; and finally Magic Words universal. Nothing really profound and its not very deep. Neither of the co-authors have a background in Psychology, so I sort of wonder what the base their authority on. If you really want something like this, but more insightful, try either "Dont Sweat the Small Stuff" or my favorite "Finding Joy: 101 ways to free your spirit and dance with life" All three of these are based on the same premise of changing yourself and your behaviors so you can enjoy life, but the last two are just MUCH better.
