Story
The longtime Republican strategist and number one New York Times best-selling author of Everything Trump Touches Dies is back with a guidebook for beating Trump’s tricks, traps, and Twitter feed in 2020. Donald Trump is exactly the disaster we feared for America. Hated by a majority of Americans, Trump’s administration is rocked by daily scandals, and he’s embarrassed us at home and abroad. Trump can’t win in 2020, right? Wrong. As 2016 proved, Trump can’t win, but the Democrats can sure as hell lose.

Story
“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite, the other infinite.” Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change - as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan isn’t one to avoid arguments. He relishes them as the lifeblood of democracy and the only surefire way to establish the truth. Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value—and can also simply be fun.

Story
Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Public speaking experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences such as slide presentations, pitches, or formal talks. Yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that creep up on us and all too often leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously.

Repetative vainglorious windbag
The main point and supporting material as already discovered by the end of the first chapter or two. Much of the material is repeated over and over and over and over... The author has many good points about word choice, but unfortunately often does not follow his own advice. His tone is often so self-aggrandizing that it is embarassing to listen. It is also a shame that much of the effort behind his choice of words is not to improve communication of ideas, but to obscure ideas in pretty wrapping so the (apparently ignorant) public may more easily consume them. I learned from the book, but it took too long, and I felt soiled after listening to it.

It's not what you say it's what they hear; there, you've got it, no need to buy the book. Unless you want a 6 hour review of political word-smithing of past presidential campaigns. If you plan on running for President in 2008 this is a MUST read, otherwise this book does not live up to its title.

Where are the words!
It takes this guy 4 hours of blabbering to give you 21 "words that work" that are actually concepts...then he tells you 20 political phrases not to use and replaces them 20 other. 95% of this is wordy boring political stories.
WASTE OF TIME!

self congratulations rather than information
Unfortunately, there is no real 'meat' in the book. I kept waiting for something more, and it was never delivered. Pretty much a waste of time and money.

Words That Work
I WUZ ROBBED! WHAT A CRASHING BORE! I WASTED A CREDIT AND WAS TRICKED BY THE TITLE INTO BELIEVING THE BOOK WOULD APPLY TO USING EFFECTIVE LANGUAGE IN BUSINESS AND SOCIAL SETTINGS. INSTEAD, IT IS SPOKEN IN A HIGH PITCH “WALTER WENCHEL-LIKE” STACCATO, DEVOTED MAINLY TO ADVERTISING AND MOVIE CHARACTER JINGLES AND SCRIPT LINES. IT DOES GIVE ATTENTION TO HOW POLITICAL HACKS ARE GIVEN WORDS BY THEIR SPEECH MAKERS JUST TO GET ELECTED. RIFE WITH NAME DROPPING AND DISSAPPOINTMENT.

WoW!
It was even better than I expected. I thought I would pick up a few phrases to use in business and social settings that would really get my point across. To my surprise there were marketing tips and affirmations that some of our word usage strategies are effective word choices. I highly recommend this book.

waste of money and time
The author certainly uses many "words that work" to sell his book. I quit after an hour. It reminded me an endless TV informational, that one can count on at 3 a.m. I want to ask the author 'where is the beef?"

Sooo much taaalk...
It's not what people say, it's what they hear. You will learn this in the very beginning of the book. It is the best part of the entire book. This book has a lot of political talk which for me was not very intersting at all... I would have better enjoyed a little more info, a little less political example. He also very much enjoys talking about himself... For me, this book was 5% good information, 95% blah blah blah.

Same stuff in a different package
Before I bought this audio I thought of Frank Luntz as a wizard of the English language. As I listened to the book I realized that I was more a victim of Mr. Luntz's self promotion. There is nothing new in this book. If you have ever read a book on influence and persuasive writing then you will likley hear the same stuff here.

Slogans Ahoy
I got this book because I wanted to communicate better with work associates. What I got were a ton of slogans from commercial products and overly simplistic explainations. How is this helpful? To be fair though, I stopped listening after an hour (So perhaps it got better?).
