Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. "Sparkles with insight."--Daniel Pink A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2023 A New Scientist Best Science Book    A Publishers Weekly Summer Read 2023 Recommendation One of Next Big Idea Club's "7 Books that Reveal the Wonders of Writing and Language" One of Inc.'s "13 Psychology Books to Understand Humans Way Better" This revolutionary book goes beyond any recent book on language to dissect how language operates in our minds and how to harness its virtually limitless power.
