Crazy Talk, Stupid Talk: How We Defeat Ourselves by the Way We Talk and What to Do About It

5 reviews
Neil Postman

Doubleday, 1977

An Eye-Opener
I whole-heartedly agree with the previous reviewer's impression of this amusing, but keenly insightful book (which I came across 6 years ago at a public library in Miami, Florida, off campus near Florida International University). Crazy Talk, Stupid Talk reveals how language is used in subtly deceptive ways everyday both in public and in private, often unwittingly. Drawing examples from real ...

Fabulous book, somewhat mis-titled!
When I picked up this book, I thought it was for empty nesters and retirees who wanted to downsize or "undecorate" the kids out of their former rooms. Not so! These homes are for people who have lots of living and big plans for themselves. There are only a couple of places I would call "retirement" homes. The rest include homes with offices to make work life go along with home life,homes with ...

Overcoming the Fear of Success: Why and How We Defeat Ourselves and What to Do About It

Martha Friedman

Warner Books, 1982

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK
Overcoming the Fear of Success is hands down, the worst, most destructive book I have ever read. When I read it at age 16, what it did was convince me that my own unconscious or subconscious mind was "out to get me" and derail me of every attempt I made at success. So instead of helping me, the book ended up hurting me a great deal. I cannot tell how many times I think about this book in my ...
