The Power of Being Articulate: The Thoughtful Leader's Model for Wealth and Happiness
This book can help make you wealthy and happy or, depending on your situation, wealthier and happier. But only if you approach it with an open mind.
Start with this Your success in your professional, financial, and personal lives depends to a great extent on your ability to articulate.
Throughout recorded history, many thinkers have noted the importance of being articulate and the power of words; you'll find a few of their comments in the book. Pete, however, goes a giant step further by connecting articulation to wealth and happiness and to the clear thinking and better decisions that thwart mediocrity. He quite correctly points out that we think in words, and we need more words to think with as the issues we need to resolve become more complex, as they do when we rise in any organization and when our close relationships mature.
Pete has successfully and clearly connected wealth, happiness, and words with compelling evidence. Now you can make the same connections, and you can follow his succinct guidelines and become a true Articulate.
This book isn't a cure-all for those who are dissatisfied with their professional, financial, and personal lives. No book is. But this a good start.

As a former manager I can certainly see the value of being articulate and surrounding yourself with articulate people both in social scenes and on the business front.
I also found wisdom in the instructional portion of the book advising businesses to teach their mid level managers and employees to be articulate.

Without words, we would be lost.
The Power of Being Articulate serves as a fantastic reminder that words matter. What we say and how we say it has power. Words have the power to build and they have the power to destroy. Words can get us what we want, or they can take it away. While the book is geared toward professionals, I feel like this book it valuable to both professionals and non-professionals equally. Relationships of all kinds are affected by our ability to articulate what we need, want or can provide for others. Pete Geissler provides many examples of where communication was key to the success of the person in the story. It would be wise to take the advice given in the book and practice effective communication to reach the best relationships we can on all levels.

I found the book very light on substance. It included good arguments and color examples that will motivate readers to become more articulate but that's it.
