A few well-chosen words can elicit smiles, inspire happiness, transform moods, and turn a bad day into a good one. Philosopher William James once said, “The deepest principle in human nature is the desire to be appreciated.” This is a fun, fabulous, reader-friendly book all about compliments—the history of compliments, how to use them, best-loved compliments, and how to take them.
