This month’s selection for the Mastermind Book Club: Jonah Berger’s Magic Words. From the publisher’s summary: “New York Times bestselling author Jonah Berger’s cutting-edge research reveals how six types of words can increase your impact in every area of life: from persuading others and building stronger relationships, to boosting creativity and motivating teams.”
