    About this ebook

    "Talkers: With Illustrations" by John Bate argues that the power to talk, like every other natural power of man, is designed for profit and pleasure; but in the absence of wisdom in its government, it fails to fulfill either. This book breaks down the different types of "talkers" that exist, from those who default to flattery, to those who want to sell things to their audiences, this book educates readers that the language choice people make can drastically change based on their aims.
