Most women arrive at fifty fluent in a second language they never chose to learn.

It's the language of softening. It turns a decision into a question, a preference into an apology, and a perfectly reasonable sentence into something that can be talked out of. I might be wrong, but. Sorry, can I just. If that's okay. Does that make sense?

You didn't invent it. You were taught it early and thoroughly. And it's now costing you more than it earns.

Inside this book:

100 exact sentences, each with the situation it's for, why the wording is built the way it is, and crucially the thing not to add

Saying No ten refusals, first, because everything gets easier once no is available to you

At Work for the room where you've been the most competent person and the least likely to say so

With Family, Partner, and Friends for the people who've known you longest and update their opinion least often

About Your Body and Your Age the subject other people feel unusually entitled to raise

About Money the thing women are trained to find embarrassing and men are trained to find normal

When Someone Crosses a Line the sentences that need to be short

Saying What You Want and The Hard, Loving Things including I need help, I'm worried about you, and thank you for what you did for me

Plus every sentence collected in one place, and a method for actually starting
