Publisher's summary

ECPA BESTSELLER • Strengthen your spiritual, mental, and emotional health and reach your most audacious goals with three simple but power-packed words—from the New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day.

“A practical framework to be the kind of thoughtful, helpful force for good you always wanted to be.”—Carey Nieuwhof, founder of the Art of Leadership Academy

The best predictor of success in life, in love, and in leadership is your proficiency at please, sorry, and thanks. Those three words are the foundation of all healthy relationships and successful careers. Those three words are the only ceiling on achieving your dreams. Those three words will determine how happy you are.

With his trademark blend of personal stories, scientific and historical references, and biblical insight, Pastor Mark Batterson shows how you can change your world with your words:

• A timely please can help you unlock the rule of reciprocity for greater results, discover the power of “we is greater than me,” and honor others above yourself.
• A sincere sorry can lead you to mend broken relationships, strengthen connections through being radically vulnerable, and better understand the degrees of forgiveness.
• A heartfelt thanks paves the way toward a resilient mindset of gratitude and an expectancy to see God move on your behalf.

Whether you’re launching out into a new phase of life or navigating long-established complexities, it's time to harness the power of those three transformative words and let them propel you wherever God leads you to go.

Amazing book that I think would change the way we live life now in 2023. Everyone should read!

Very easy read and super helpful

Finished the audiobook in a day, super easy read/listen. Very insightful and helpful when it comes to the words that we speak and the words that are spoken over us.

Loved this book!

I always love Mark Batterson‘s books, and this one was no different! Very insightful, I love all the stories he tells, and all the facts he shares! You can tell he really pours his heart into his books, and they make it enjoyable to read! And I love that everything he writes is through a Godly perspective, and biblically based!

Awesome, Encouraging Book to Improve Communication

All of Mark Batterson's books are amazing! He is truly a gifted writer that both inspires and encourages. Books that are chalk full of interesting information, always laid on a foundation bedrock of Scripture.
This book takes a comprehensive look at these important words. Definitely walking away with a deeper consciousness and respect to thoughtful, sincere communication to improve relationships and glorify God. My 3 kids (twin 11 year olds and 14) will be reading it next.

Great reset for 2023

Enjoyed every bit of this book. So much opportunity as we adjust to post-covid life, to learn how to relate to others truthfully and lovingly. Must read!

INSPIRING!

This book inspired me in so many ways. I highlighted in my copy as I listened to the audio.
I'm taking it to a neighbor to share ASAP, So so good. So encouraging.

Wonderful Book

Really good content. The sound was a little off at times.Mark does a great job

The reality of power and control of the pastorate.

Please take a moment and declaring Romans 10:9. This is a great example of the contradictory teachings of the church. When a person does not have a repentant heart and are not confessing their sin every moment of the day they are not saved.

Thank you, When a person is not serving the church then they are not saved as well.

Thank you for proving my point regarding when a person is not submitted to the pastorate leadership then they will never be qualified for ministry.

I am sorry but 95% of all that the church performs pagan rituals.
