A very simple but on the whole wonderful book about the capacity of positive words to change people's mental horizons and their relationships with other people. I picked up a lot of good quotes and thoughts from it.

A couple of minor points, the author confuses the history of the spoken and written language at the start. He also probably lays it on a bit thick with the 1960s bashing. But these were very minor points.
