Magic words written by Tim David's

Imagine this scenario: your teenage daughter, after a night out with friends, comes home late. She has important homework to do - but she doesn't want to do it. Instead, she would rather sit and watch TV. What do you do? Probably, you get really upset, and your daughter probably ends up locking herself in her room. But what has this accomplished? The homework is still unfinished and now you're all fed up. There's a way to avoid such dissatisfying situations. By incorporating some simple "magic words" into our arguments, we can persuade and motivate others to see things our way - and these words are exactly what Tim David's book is all about - Magic Words: The Science and Secrets Behind Seven Words That Motivate, Engage, and Influence. So let's begin with the first part of the book:

Magic words connect you with others

What's a magic word? Maybe words. like "Abracadabra" come to mind but, outside the realms of fiction and illusion, "magic word" means something entirely different. Magic words motivate others, and thus make you a more effective communicator. And, of course, communication is key no matter what you want out of life, whether your dream is starting a business or devoting yourself to raising your children. Yes, you can try to force people to do what you want, but that rarely works. After all, people don't like to be bossed around. That's why it's important to motivate their actions - and that's where magic words come in.
