Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We have always been compelled to communicate our ideas, experiences, and emotions to those around us. Twitter is a great example of how we can do this. Each tweet is like a fingerprint, revealing something about the person who wrote it.

#2 We can now analyze tweets and Facebook updates, emails, letters, and books, and the words from everyday life to determine how people are portraying their personalities, emotions, and connections with others.

#3 The secret life of words is the study of how words affect our lives and the lives of those around us. Words can be toxic if they are kept secret, but they can also be healing if they are shared.

#4 The reason writing works is that it allows people to process their emotions and find meaning in their traumatic experiences. It helps them resolve their emotional turmoil.
