The Art of the Compliment

Using Kind Words with Grace and Style

Christie Matheson

DESCRIPTION

just a few well-chosen words can elicit smiles, inspire happiness, transform moods, and turn a bad day into a good one. A compliment can help someone feel confident, cool, sexy, beautiful, smart, and successful. Mark Twain once said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.” But what is it about the complimentary word that can brighten someone’s day? How have compliments shaped our history? How can compliments strengthen relationships? These questions and more are answered in this fun, fabulous, reader-friendly book all about kind words.
In The Art of the Compliment, Christie Matheson transcends the rules of etiquette and reveals the history of compliments, how to use them, best-loved compliments, and how to take them.
