Summary: Hayakawa was brilliant.
Comment: S.I. Hayakawa was an insightful thinker about language. His explanation of the connection between language, meaning and culture have been enormously helpful to me as a writer. I recommend this book highly to anyone who thinks seriously about language.

Rating: 5
Summary: Man's crutch, language, dissected and explored
Comment: This book presents fundamental ways to examine the human relationship to language and thought. Hayakawa presents the building blocks of modern linguistic theories like NLP with precise and illuminating examinations of speech, human emotions, and "common sense."

This book is intruiging and at times disturbing. The study of propoganda is mind expanding and illistrative of the dark side of humanity. Think of it as a How-To manual to create a Orwellian 1984-like society.

I can't recommend this book more strongly. It will alter the way you think and relate to your own thoughts. Read this book.

Summary: Rethink your outlook - I did
Comment: I first regarded this book as a standard explanation of language, I was pleasently suprised. Hayakawa addresses the many aspects of language in a fresh and informative manner. Also, he remains very objective the entire time, giving advice as well. After reading it I feel as if I have a much clearer understanding of my language, how it is used, and its strengths and weaknesses.
