Words That Hurt, Words That Heal

Words That Hurt, Words That Heal is a powerful and thought-provoking book that explores how the words we speak can deeply affect others—and ourselves. Rabbi Joseph Telushkin examines the impact of everyday language, showing how kind or harmful words can shape relationships, influence reputations, and guide our emotional and moral paths. Through real-life examples, ethical insights, and practical advice, the book teaches readers how to speak with intention, honesty, and compassion. It invites us to take greater responsibility for our speech and to use words as a force for healing rather than harm.
