Blah Blah Blah: What To Do When Words Don’t Work by Dan Roam: Adult Nonfiction

For a book about finding and ending useless speech, Blah Blah Blah: What To Do When Words Don’t Work by Dan Roam does a lot of talking.  The book started out interestingly enough, but became less so as it continued, until finally I was just glad when it was over.  Recommendation: Stick with Roam’s first book The Back of the Napkin and skip this one.
Nutshell: The world is full of blah, blah, blah.  Use the FOREST acronym to keep the ideas but throw out all the verbiage.
