The Courage to Write: How Writers Transcend Fear

33 reviews
Ralph Keyes

Holt Paperbacks, 1996

There Are Few Books Like It
If you're a writer, want to be a writer, or know and love a writer and want to better understand what a writer faces and how you can help - this book is for you. This is one of the best books I've read about the heart of a writer and how to face the fears - big and little - that all writers face, whether they're crafting their first story or their fiftieth novel. Fear of a blank page. Fear ...

The Quote Verifier: Who Said What, Where, and When

5 reviews
Ralph Keyes

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

You Can Quote Me on This
Two years ago, my co-workers made fun of me because I tried to use the word "eponymous" in a news release. They deleted it, saying that no one knows what that word means anymore. One of the many things I like about Ralph Keyes is that he uses words like "eponymous" -- and he expects that you'll know what it means, too. Keyes' writing will either teach you some really cool words to use at cocktail ...

The Writer's Book of Hope : Getting from Frustration to Publication

12 reviews
Ralph Keyes, 2003

Encouraging and Informative
Keyes does a great job presenting the case for finding hope in the writing process. This book specifically discusses: dealing with anxiety, frustration and despair, overcoming the discouragers in your life, exorcising excuses for not writing and pursuing a career in writing, the rites of rejection, the nature of publishers and editors, and how to keep hope alive. Years ago I had a basketball ...

The height of your life

Ralph Keyes

Little, Brown, 1980

Excellent study of the significance of stature in U.S. society
What does it matter how tall you are? Keyes answers this question by undertaking an unscientific but thorough exploration of outliers on the bell curve of stature in the United States. The top three questions asked of tall people are: "How tall are you?", "Do you play basketball?", and "How's the weather up there?" Keyes asks, "Do you tire of those questions?" Short people are also asked ...

"Nice guys finish seventh": False phrases, spurious sayings, and familiar misquotations

Ralph Keyes

HarperCollinsPublishers, 1992

If only I had bought this sooner ....
Prior to making a technical presentation in China, I asked my translator to quickly write 'One picture is worth a thousand words' on one of the transparencies. He was not aware of this ancient Chinese proverb. It was only on my return to the US that I found this book and "The Rules of Misquotation - Corollary 2F: In a pinch, any orphan quote can be called a Chinese proverb". Frederick Barnard ...

The Post-Truth Era : Dishonesty and Deception in Contemporary Life

4 reviews
Ralph Keyes

St Martins Press, 2004

An Entertaining Yet Challenging Read
This book manages to be highly entertaining even while it requires readers to think hard about important questions about how we live and the kind of society to which we belong. As is usual in Keyes' work, he has researched every conceivable point of view and bit of evidence on the matter: we learn and wonder about casual lies of Hillary Clinton; why the lies of Reagan and Oliver North were ...

18 reviews
Richard Farson, Ralph Keyes

Free Press, 2003

The Limits of the Concepts of Success and Failure
Making mistakes is a key part of succeeding at anything, the authors believe. Mistakes educate, and education leads to success. They tell the story of Thomas Watson's early loss of company resources at IBM, and his inital expectation that it would lead to his firing, so he offered to resign instead. "You must be kidding," he was told. "We've just invested $10 million in your education." ...

The Wit & Wisdom of Oscar Wilde

2 reviews
Ralph Keyes

Gramercy, 1999

"Between Me and Life There is A Mist of Words Always"
Oscar Wilde once said "Drama is the meeting place of art and life." In this essential, compact volume Ralph Keyes leaves a trail to that corner by gathering the flamboyant author's thorniest, at times most insightful quotes and anecdotes. Keyes uses Wilde's plays, reviews, letters, interrogations, even conversational repartee (given its own section) which remained Wilde's signature to his time. ...

Chancing It: Why We Take Risks

1 review
Ralph Keyes

Little Brown & Co (T), 1985

The first Ralph Keyes book I read, which made me a fan for life!
I can honestly say that, as a college student over twenty years ago, reading Chancing It permanently changed my views on life. But this is NOT a self-help book by any stretch of the imagination. Chancing It is a literary dissertation of a caliber rarely found today, full of anticdotes, profiles, interviews and reflections. It is never preachy or simplistic, and never devolves into a hackneyed ...
