Como estudiante de lingüística, este libro no solo me ha ayudado a ampliar mi comprensión teórica, sino que también proporciona ejemplos de cómo los patrones lingüísticos pueden fortalecer o debilitar nuestra determinación interna. Es una lectura esencial para quienes buscan entender cómo la comunicación afecta nuestra motivación diaria.
