A book of transformation and guidance that cheers the spirit and awakens a sense of personal responsibility. We use words every day to communicate, to express our feelings and thoughts, but we often forget how powerful they can be and how important it is to choose them with care if we wish to attract love, happiness and success.
With honesty and warmth, Andrea Gardner shares her own ups and downs on her journey to changing her words and her world, and provides the inspiration and tools that you need to find your own true purpose and transform your life to match your dreams. From attracting prosperity and improving your relationships, to finding your true purpose and serving the world, Andrea touches on a wide variety of themes, and helps you laugh at your failings with love, and then pick yourself up and carry on to the wonderful life that you truly deserve. This is a light and entertaining read, but it contains a very powerful message that may very well change your world for good.
Andrea Gardner, the author of this book, not only changed my words, she changed my life. The book is filled with inspirational words, and Andrea's personal journey is a delight to read. But the inspiration comes from within, not from her words. If you want to experience the truth of this statement,and the power of this book, you must watch the amazing video that was created by Andrea and her husband. In less than 90 seconds it will open your heart and make you shed a tear. As of this writing, over 13 million people agree, because "The Power of Words" went viral. Just go to youtube or do an internet search for the "The Power of Words" and you'll find it.
Then, when you watch it, I want you to observe your inner feelings. It will make you feel sadness and joy, and her book will do the same. It will take you on a spiritual journey and it is based on the premise that our thoughts and words create our reality, a premise that our neuroscientific research confirms and which I write about in Words Can Change Your Brain: 12 Conversation Strategies to Build Trust, Resolve Conflict, and Increase Intimacy. Andrea's book, Change Your Words, Change Your World, is filled with wisdom and illustrated with examples from science, history and the author's own life. It's honest and revealing, filled with positivity and love.
These writings has help me find the answer to a great many distresses in my life. I thought at first it was just some hippie wannabe trying to pick up a couple of bucks by a bunch of geriatrics and remnants from the "time of enlightenment". Couldn't have been more wrong. Several years of anger management and broken knuckles and this young lady sticks her face into my world. Can you imagine that.
I actually threw the book away. As I was going to set the trash out I noticed that book just lying their...staring at me. Poor thing, I decided to give it another chance. That move changed my world. A must read for all you old dudes and vets that think the world has gone by you. Hang on because, my sisters and brothers, just like all the shoulders of the giants we stand on, you are the wonderful part of it.

Once I saw the video Change your Words, Change your World on YouTube (purplefeather)I had to follow the link to see just who was behind such and inspiration. I'm an advocate for the poor and I constantly think about how to use the right words to tell the story. The video and the book helped me do both. Actually,I thought the book was going to be more about copy-writing, but it was more about the impact that words can have on our lives, work, even health. While I was looking for something else I was still delighted with the book. It was very inspirational in that it helped me to see that words cause a reaction all around us and inside of us.
If you work in an industry where you are using words to communicate a message; like most people do, this is a good book to have as a part of your resource collection. It's one perspective on the written and spoken word.
We all face troubles and challenges throughout our lives, and there are times when we could use some good, common-sense advice to help us to negotiate our ways successfully. Could the answer be simply that we need to "Change Our Words"?
In the introduction to Change Your Words; Change your World, Andrea Gardner advises that "when troubles show up in our lives it's a call to action: an opportunity to go within to the `heart of the matter' and listen to our inner wisdom." Throughout the entire book, Gardner shares strategies to get to "the heart of the matter", significantly transform our lives, find "our purpose", and make positive changes in our lives.
The opening chapter begins with a quote by Oprah Winfrey: "The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams." This quote underscores Gardner's advice to "Listen to your body" to rebalance the energy within. Her personal stories of her "tree of knowledge", her economic hardships, and her personal journey seeking betterment reinforce the advice that she lives personally, as well as dispenses. The power of the mind is recognized as a powerful healing option for many health challenges.
In keeping with the tenor of many self-help books, Gardner pays tribute to the power of creative visualization in the pursuit of success. She adds that "We have the power to shape our reality using our thoughts, words, and deeds." We readers are encouraged to use positive affirmations, forgiveness, and an awareness of the universe as we hope to "Appreciate now (the present) to change the future."
To attract prosperity, we are advised to "Appreciate (our) true value", expect success, avoid stress, and nourish our "body, mind, and spirit". Gardner concludes with this advice: "The potency of your highest thought, the strength of your strongest belief, the balm of your softest word and the truth of your most honourable action can shift everyone's experience of life on this planet. And it's the little kindnesses that matter most."
If we wish to transform our lives completely, to improve our perspectives, or simply to gain insights into the way we conduct our own lives, then we should read this delightful book. Indeed, we may just find that we have decided to "Change Our Words" to "Change Our Worlds."
