The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us - James W. Pennebaker

We spend our lives communicating. In the last fifty years, we’ve zoomed through radically different forms of communication, from typewriters to tablet computers, text messages to tweets. We generate more and more words with each passing day. Hiding in that deluge of language are amazing insights into who we are, how we think, and what we feel.
In The Secret Life of Pronouns, social psychologist and language expert James W. Pennebaker uses his groundbreaking research in computational linguistics-in essence, counting the frequency of words we use-to show that our language carries secrets about our feelings, our self-concept, and our social intelligence. Our most forgettable words, such as pronouns and prepositions, can be the most revealing: their patterns are as distinctive as fingerprints.
Using innovative analytic techniques, Pennebaker X-rays everything from Craigslist advertisements to the Federalist Papers-or your own writing, in quizzes you can take yourself-to yield unexpected insights. Who would have predicted that the high school student who uses too many verbs in her college admissions essay is likely to make lower grades in college? Or that a world leader’s use of pronouns could reliably presage whether he led his country into war? You’ll learn why it’s bad when politicians use “we” instead of “I,” what Lady Gaga and William Butler Yeats have in common, and how Ebenezer Scrooge’s syntax hints at his self-deception and repressed emotion. Barack Obama, Sylvia Plath, and King Lear are among the figures who make cameo appearances in this sprightly, surprising tour of what our words are saying-whether we mean them to or not.

Oh look. Another sociology major is going to try to obliquely poke at President Trump. Even basic grammar isn’t safe from being politicized.
Here’s hoping the President start just giving these people free helicopter rides.

Great point, a book published in January of 2013 is going to go FORWARD in time and take pot shots at our dear leader.

Thanks for the book. Looks interesting.
I can see where TruthBYBS is coming from… Hearing people take potshots at The President is so commonplace right now, its easy to assume its more of the same.

SOP, If this author criticizing president trump in this book, then he must be an amazing fortuneteller considering this book was published in 2013. I smell a conspiracy here worthy of Alex Jones!

TruthBeatsyourBS is criticising this book based on:
* that a book published in 2011 is anti-President Trump
* “Here’s hoping the President start just giving these people free helicopter rides.”
* and he give a 1 out of 5 rating to a book he (probably he) hasn’t even read.
Right on Mr TruthBeastyourBS, good work son.
