Summary: Buy this book. Every woman should learn Successful Language
Comment: My only reqret is that Dr. Mindell wrote "A Woman's Guide to the Language of Success: Communicating With Confidence and Power" after I had earned my masters degree (this book should have been required reading) and after I already became deeply entrenched in my current career. My goal is to use the principles taught in "Language of Success" to help me dig myself out of my work rut and into a higher-paying position.

Dr. Mindell's book is a "must-read" and a "must-do-what-you-read" book for every woman.

This book should be required reading for every woman whether or not she earned a high school diploma or college degree. If she works with, or for, people of any gender, this book should be mandatory reading.

This book should be required reading for any mother or guardian with any type of daughter (or with a son exhibiting timid tendencies) so that she could train her child to use the language of success principles that Dr. Mindell teaches.

The concepts provided are simple, yet powerful. The book is clearly written and Dr. Mindell even uses humor; this is not a "grammar" book.

A suggestion: before you read the book, take two or three minutes and write a pretend written memo directing "someone" to do an unpleasant task. You don't HAVE to do this to learn from the book but it will be fun and you can use the memo as a benchmark to learn about yourself and compare it to later business writing after you learn how to use the language of success.

I learned a lot about myself from "The Language of Success." I learned that there are a lot of changes that I need to make. They are simple changes, but until I read this book, I was totally unaware of how "weak" I come across in the business arena.

I instantly began to use Dr. Mindell's suggestions, right from the first chapter. I know that as I put her concepts into practice, that I will reach my professional and personal goals.

Example of two easy rules to improve your image are to:
1. Avoid using "like" as in: The presentation was like real good.
2. Avoid using "I think" when you really "know" something. Don't start a sentence by saying, "I think we really ought to do such and such." Just say, "We ought to do such and such."
etc., etc., etc.

Don't worry: the "Language of Sucess" principles won't turn you into a rude woman when you put them into practice, but they will improve your image of authority without making you appear overbearing.

Please buy this book if you are a woman--whether you work in your home or for a Fortune 500 business. Doesn't matter. Read it.
I wish I learned the principles of "Successful Language" when I was a child.

Summary: Great assertiveness handbook for women - empowering tips
Comment: Mindell brings a sharp focus to the words we use that take away our power - the tentative hesitancy built into language for women in our culture. Her ideas for sharpening word usage and using tighter assertive phrasing are a must for women to learn. I began a "power verb" list right away! I am recommending this book to everyone who takes my assertiveness classes.

Rating: 5
Summary: A power-changer and a life-changer
Comment: I've put the author's theories into practice and seen dramatic changes in the power of my communications to co-workers. Learning to speak with power has helped me embrace my real authority . I'm buying more copies for the young women in my office. Once you learn what she has to say, you never go back.
