2005 Overall Best Seller "How Smart and Unintelligent People Talk" Yuichi Higuchi Price: ¥714 (excluding tax) #YuichiHiguchi #Books #BOOK #Nonfiction #Education A person's intelligence is revealed in casual conversations. It's not about having a difficult discussion, but just a simple chat... In the real world, your ability to work can be judged by how you speak. This book gives examples of foolish ways of speaking that are common, and examines their tendencies and countermeasures. "Know-it-alls," "full of contradictions," "repetitive," "lacking concrete examples," "preachy" - you'll probably think of someone you know! And you yourself might be speaking in a way that makes you look foolish! A writing instructor finds common ground between "writing" and "speaking" and writes about it with great wit.
