Memorable Messages: The Communications That Stick with Us Over Time - Paperback

by Valerie Rubinsky (Author), Angela Cooke-Jackson (Author)

Do you remember the best advice you ever received? How about the worst? Do certain memories bring you comfort? Do you remember times when you needed to hear something, but didn't? Memorable messages are the enduring communications that shape our lives. These lasting messages impact our behavior, self-concept, and relationships throughout our lives. The words that stick with us over time inform how we see ourselves and others.

This interactive book explores what memorable messages are, where they come from, and how they influence our daily lives. Through a blend of scientific insights and personal stories, it guides readers on a journey of self-discovery, showing them how to recognize, unpack, and reshape the messages that have informed and influenced their lives. This book makes the case that communication is not something that just happens to us--but a process in which we can take an active role.
