4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent., February 24, 1998

By A Customer

This is an excellent book. It is a guide to taking responsibility for our words and a handbook for dealing with difficult people, all written by a religious Jew with training in psychology. Dr. Adahan brings the best of these two worlds together in "Sticks and Stones."

5.0 out of 5 stars Stick and Stones can wound your bones, July 20, 2003

By	David Jacobson (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dr. Adahan eloquently emhasizes one aspect of the ethics which guide the Jewish people. "Ona'as Devarim" (hurting others with words) is the subject of this book. The author gives many examples of how we expose the people around us to pain and suffering through the words we use. By reading this book, the introspective reader will gain a greater sensitivity for the words he or she uses with others. The reader may also be able to better moderate discussions by helping to eliminate hurtful words from a dialog. What a wonderful book.
