Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The purpose of Kung Fu, the Chinese art of self-defense, is to fend off physical attacks. According to professional speaker and consultant Horn, the purpose of Tongue Fu, a spoken form of self-defense, is to guard against psychological attacks. Dealing with difficult people is a part of everyday life. However, by focusing on real-life responses to verbal challenges instead of theories and platitudes, the author has delivered a convenient handbook for the mental martial art of verbal self-protection. Divided into four sections, the book offers techniques and skills for responding thoughtfully in conflicts, expressing honest feelings and goals, seeking cooperation in difficult situations, and living a life of value during trying times. Each of the 30 chapters offers examples that demonstrate the expected goals and acquired skills in action. Despite its suggestively prurient title, Horn's book is a lively, positive guide that can be returned to time and again. A popular title for all public library collections.

Midwest Book Review
Control how to respond to criticism and how to direct arguments and negative communications through Horn's deft explanations of the fine art of 'tongue fu'. This gives plenty of case history examples on how to deflect and defuse any verbal conflict, presenting 'action plans' for changing both individual and group communications patterns. An intriguing, positive approach. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
