Opis

A comprehensive collection of powerful phrases to help you face a variety of life's challenges.
Travelers to foreign countries often carry handy phrase books to help them navigate uncharted territory. Now there's a guide for getting through tough times in plain English-an essential selection of well-honed phrases to help you soothe and smooth your way through any prickly situation.
Divided into three sections-Magic Words to say to yourself, to others, and for universal situations-this invaluable guide contains the verbal keys to the kingdom. Protect yourself in the midst of a tongue-lashing (-Are you actually yelling at me?-); politely remind an obnoxious cell-phone abuser to be courteous (-Don't forget, you're not in a phone booth-); or chant this mantra when things seem to be slipping over the edge (-If you want to gain control, you have to give up control-).
Life is full of little, and big, stumbling blocks. Whether you're dealing with an over-inflated ego, meddling in-laws, or even creating the problems yourself, this sharp little handbook has all the Magic Words you need to get through the toughest of times. From the Hardcover edition.
