Great post. “How to Write, Speak and Think More Effectively,” is a fantastic book. Note, in the title of the book are the words, “and THINK More Effectively.” It’s highly readable and chock full of information you won’t find anywhere else.
One thing I started doing after reading this book was to go through my text and search for the word “that.” Most of the time it can be deleted. Sometimes it should be changed to “which.”
I think people will be surprised at the varied and well-written content in this book. It's not a boring course in writing at all.
Each chapter of the book stands on its own. And you learn about writing from many angles and in many situations.
