How to Marie Kondo your words: 3 word tips in 30 seconds

Will Jelbert Since 2000 (with a career break 2011-2015), I have worked full time for a major international company in the UK, Switzerland, India, Australia, and the US. But, almost every weekend—and most vacation days since 2017—I’ve also had a side hustle: writing a book. On Tuesday (10.20.2020) that book will be published under the title "Word Wise".

 


Here’s the rear-cover blurb from the publisher

Will Jelbert, The Happiness Animal

“Social proof is a flame to the human mind moth, and it leaves a fire trail of destruction across the path of enough.”
Will Jelbert, The Happiness Animal

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt

“For my own good, I want to hang out with people who want to find out what it would be like to live in such a way as to leave no unspoken words, no unfinished business; I want to be with people who are hungry for the truth, who want to spend time learning and sharing what they have learned rather than defending their images or reputations.”
