Short Testimonials
Andrew O’Keeffe, author of ‘Hardwired Humans’ and ‘The Boss’.
“In this insightful and practical book, Bob Selden guides us to realise the power of our words – and our thoughts – to help us build better relationships with our friends, family and work colleagues. A really important life book and one I wish I had years ago.”
Jim Lawless, author of “Taming Tigers” and International Keynote Speaker.
“Bob Selden has given us a gift of unique value: The gift of understanding how the words we choose impact on others - and even on ourselves. Based on his painstaking review of the science, “Don’t” has already changed how I construct my keynote speeches.”
People around me noticed the change in my language and attitude.
The success of any book is while you are reading or discussing it with others, it gains their interest in the subject matter and they actually go out and buy it, which is what has happened with this particular book.
While I was reading the book and incorporating the ideas and concepts the author was promoting people around me noticed the change in my language and attitude that I had adopted and wondered where it had come from. Particularly that I was using a lot of positivity and different lines of questioning to check for understanding and explanations. This was all down to reading this excellent novel which points out how we can improve communication by changing simple things.”
Keira Barlett, author of “The Reluctant CEO”.
“Bob Selden has done it again! Here is a book that brings new skills in your life in a painless and efficient way. Backed by research and science, full of humour and true life examples, with practical, simple and effective exercises, the book is easy to read and the concepts quickly translate into new behaviours. This book will change the way you communicate and even think!”
