It’s probably disempowering, and robbing you of the belief you should have in yourself. No one should start our days feeling defeat. This book will dissect every mental habit you possess and rebuild your self-talk from the ground up.

What makes us human? Why are we the only animals who wear clothes, drive cars, trawl the internet, and fly helicopters on Mars?

Speech! suggests an answer that’s been hiding in plain sight - the simple yet radical shift that turned our analog grunts and shrieks into words. But, its consequences are far from simple: being able to share ideas through language was an evolutionary tipping point - it allowed us to link up our minds.

One of the reasons for this endeavour is Ruth Morse, with whom he has fallen in love.

Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics was first published in 1916, three years after his death. The book aims to explain Saussure's theory that all languages share an underlying structure, and that this underlying structure is the same, regardless of historical or cultural context.
