Hush by Linda Clemons is a must-read for writers, entrepreneurs, and those looking to have their outside presence match their inside voice. While not a book geared toward creatives, the way the author highlights so many behavioral ticks helps to get the mental gears going on how to deepen character behaviors and highlights how nonverbal communication can often speak louder than words.
I loved how the writer highlighted tips and helped readers recognize the internal narratives that might limit us from commanding the room and respect we deserve. It was like sitting across from the writer as she gave advice, making this an enjoyable read that you don’t want to put down.
Favorite Quotes
“Once you see how your internal narratives shape your nonverbal communication, you can begin to shift them.”
“You don't need to be louder. You need to be more you.” Thank you Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for letting me read an advance copy.

Hush is a confidence-centered guide to body language and silent communication. Linda Clemons clearly knows her craft, and her passion for teaching shines through every chapter. She presents nonverbal cues in a way that feels encouraging rather than intimidating, which makes the book a good fit for beginners or anyone who needs a confidence reset.
I appreciated how Clemons explains the difference between intention and perception. She highlights how simple physical habits can shift how others read our mood, authority, or emotional openness. The tone is accessible, warm, and motivational, which makes the book enjoyable to move through.
That said, I wanted more depth. Readers who already understand the basics of nonverbal communication may not discover much new material here. The advice is solid but familiar, especially if you have explored similar titles or training.
Even so, Hush offers practical reminders and exercises that can be put to use immediately. Clemons encourages readers to step into a version of themselves that communicates confidence through presence alone. This makes the book a helpful starting point for people beginning their personal development journey.
