Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.

Excellent content with a fabulous narrator
This is a comprehensive guide to conquering public speaking anxiety and is brilliantly narrated. Complex techniques feel accessible and achievable. The audiobook expertly weaves together practical TED Talk strategies with confidence-building exercises, and the delivery is all in a warm, encouraging tone that helps listeners feel supported throughout their journey.
The sections on body language and vocal techniques are particularly effective in audio format, as listeners can hear exactly how to modulate their voice for maximum impact. While some visual aid concepts may be harder to grasp in audio format, the narrator compensates by providing detailed verbal descriptions and real-world examples and there is the PDF download to back it all up as well. This audiobook serves as both an excellent introduction for nervous beginners and a valuable resource for experienced speakers looking to refine their skills, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone seeking to improve their public speaking abilities.
