"I wrote WordSuccess after I read several studies that conclusively connect vocabulary to clearer thinking, better decisions, and success no matter how an individual defines it, whether by money or happiness. In the book, I report the studies in some detail, and then profile a number of managers and others who prove the premise. Then I define the five habits and eleven techniques that I guarantee, if followed, will lead anyone to the good life." —Pete Geissler
