From one of the most brilliant young psychologists of her generation (Paul Bloom), a groundbreaking examination of how speech causes some of our deepest social dividesand how it can help us overcome them.We gravitate toward people like us; its human nature. Race, class, and gender shape our social identities, and thus who we perceive as like us or not like us. But one overlooked factor can be even more powerful: the way we speak. As the pioneering psychologist Katherine Kinzler reveals in How You Say It, the way we talk is central to our social identity because our speech largely reflects the voices we heard as children. We can change how we speak to some extent, whether by codeswitching between dialects or learning a new language; over time, your speech even changes to reflect your evolving social identity and aspirations. But for the most part, we are forever marked by our native tongueand are hardwired to prejudge others by theirs, often with serious consequences. Your accent alone can determine the economic opportunity or discrimination you encounter in life, making speech one of the most urgent socialjustice issues of our day. Our linguistic differences present challenges, Kinzler shows, but they also can be a force for good. Humans can benefit from being exposed to multiple languages a paradox that should inspire us to master this ancient source of tribalism, and rethink the role that speech plays in our society.

'How You Say It' offers some great insights into why we talk the way we do, but I found some parts a bit dry and hard to follow. The author's research is solid, but the flow could be smoother. Still, I've taken away some valuable lessons about communication. Worth reading for sure!

Insightful and Engaging Read
I recently finished 'How You Say It' and loved how it dives into the psychology of communication. The examples in the book really made me think about how my speech reflects my personality. I bought it for a friend who's into self-improvement, and she found it just as fascinating!
