About this listen
30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary quickly became a bestseller in its category back in 2015. Now, in this updated and revised edition—which now contains the 700 most important words you need to master—you'll quickly learn why this title has been such a positive impact in the personal and professional lives of tens of thousands in the English-speaking world.
As Dan Strutzel asserts in Chapter 1, numerous studies show that those people with large vocabularies are smarter, wealthier and happier than the average person—and substantially so. And here’s the best news of all, a large vocabulary is not tied to your social status, your genes or even your education level. It is a skill that can be learned—and it takes only 30 days.
And since the original book was written, as technology has advanced further—from the smartphone to Artificial Intelligence, some people have speculated that the need for a vast vocabulary will reduce in importance. But, according to Dan Strutzel, nothing could be further from the truth. He argues in the new edition that, due to technology's ability to "flatten" the distinction between individuals, the art of personal communication via a rich vocabulary will be one of the ways to truly distinguish yourself from the masses.
The new edition contains the original, most impactful 500 words which cover many topics from persuading others, relationships, financial issues, science and technology, and more words that ensure you will be a great conversationalist and rise fast in your chosen profession. And, best of all, you'll be provided with an additional 200 words which, according to research, have become particularly important in the last 8 years, particularly since the worldwide pandemic. Those words will cover topics like the new world of virtual work, health topics, Artificial Intelligence, and much more!
Research shows that learning new words has an exponential effect on the size of your vocabulary—since learning one word, naturally produces an association between two to three more words. In short, after listening to and applying the system in this 30-day program, you will not only have a bigger vocabulary—you will have a brighter future!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Many of us dread having to convey our ideas to others, often feeling ill-equipped, anxious, and awkward. Public speaking experts help by focusing on planned communication experiences such as slide presentations, pitches, or formal talks. Yet, most of our professional and personal communication occurs in spontaneous situations that creep up on us and all too often leave us flustered and stumbling for words. Stanford lecturer, podcast host, and communication expert Matt Abrahams provides tangible, actionable skills to help even the most anxious of speakers succeed when speaking spontaneously.

After years of teaching intermediate students who never seemed to improve, I decided to find out what the problem was. Essentially, intermediate students get stuck because learning at this stage is a different type of learning than at the beginner stage. You have mastered the grammar and the basic vocabulary, but most textbooks just carry on like nothing has changed. However, what you need at the intermediate stage is not just more dry grammar and lists of vocabulary.

It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything!

Sure, you can learn English with a language course or a textbook just fine, and climb up the ranks in terms of your grasp of the language....but are you sure you can talk like a native? For starters, many expressions used by fluent speakers of English can’t exactly be learned in a book, and it can be frustrating to realize that your formal learning hasn’t been enough to teach you the way people talk in real life. Sometimes, it’s all about having the right tools at your disposal...and this is where The Great Book of American Idioms comes in!

But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.
