Simple Ways to Honor, Affirm, and Celebrate Life By Hal Urban 2004 Simon & Schuster Although we live in an ocean of words, we rarely acknowledge their power to uplift or put down, to inspire or discourage, to help or hurt. But in this jewel of a book, Hal Urban -- parent, award-winning teacher, and author of the classic Life's Greatest Lessons -- shows us simple and immediate ways that we can use language to change lives -- both our own and those around us. One of the observations that many readers made was that the author didn't try to sell them as a "startling and new" formula for permanent success and total happiness. Instead, they expressed their appreciation for the way he'd pulled together some simple truths that had been around for a long time and presented them in a logical, commonsense manner that helped people get back on the right track.
