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With his trademark blend of personal stories, scientific and historical references, and biblical insight, Pastor Mark Batterson shows how you can change your world with your words: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

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!

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!

Magic Words

Words matter. Words are how we communicate and relate. The right words heal. The wrong words destroy. This book is about three of the most powerful words we have. We learn these words when we are very small, but at some point, we forget about their power and importance.
The book has three parts:
Part I: The Psychology of Please
Part II: The Science of Sorry
Part III: The Theology of Thanks
Each part is filled with wisdom, psychology, and stories about the importance and power of these words:
Please is a bid for help. Please indicates humility. Please is other-focused. It looks outside your power to the power and skill of others. Please is good manners. Please is a magic word that opens doors and hearts.
Sorry is the hardest of these three words for me. Sorry acknowledges hurt. Sorry starts with empathy. Sorry, to be meaningful must be specific and sincere. Sorry defeats counter culture. Sorry is a bid for connection in chaos and confusion. Sorry undermines anger. Sorry deflates ego. Sorry is the path to forgiveness.
Thanks is a deep word. It holds gratitude, freedom, healing, and relief. When we say thanks, we acknowledge the value of others. When we focus on good things, we forget about all the negativity, if only for a moment. When we say thanks, our posture changes. We look up. We look out. My experience is that if we can say thanks, we are rewarded with more goodness.
I enjoyed this book. I needed the reminders it holds. It holds life, connection, and healing. It also holds quite a few clichés, but I think that is just the author's style. Thank you, Andrew, for the recommendation.

This is not for kids. They know these words. It is for those of us who have forgotten them.
