Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others – Book brıef & Podcast

The words matter.

In his book “Magic Words” Berger explains science about “language” and how to use it in practice.

Key takeaway from the book is the power of word of mouth and how to use it. How to get it? With the idea of “social currency” It is about we re more likely to share things that make us look good than make us look bad.

Author, Jonah Berger, creates a framework to use language in more efficient manner called SPEACC – Similarity – Post questions – Emotion – Agency – Confidence – Concreteness
