"Sparkles with insight."--Daniel Pink A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2023A New Scientist Best Science Book A Publishers Weekly Summer Read 2023 RecommendationOne 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. As Dr. Marian explains, while you may well think you speak only one language, in fact your mind accommodates multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in math. The human brain is built to use multiple languages, and using more languages opens doors to creativity, brain health, and cognitive control.

It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make, and the actions we take. Language is an invaluable tool for organizing, processing, and structuring information, and thereby unleashing radical advancement.
