Words That Work: It’s Not What You Say, It’s What People Hear (Revised & Updated Edition) by Frank Luntz explores one of the most powerful truths of communication: impact depends not on intention, but on interpretation.
Drawing from decades of research in politics, business, and media, Luntz demonstrates how carefully chosen words can shape public opinion, build trust, inspire action, or completely shift perception.
