The Secret Life of Pronouns is a book by social psychologist and language expert James W. Pennebaker, showing how the words we use, even those we don't notice, can reveal our personalities, emotions, and identities. Using innovative analytic techniques, Pennebaker examines texts from John McCain tweets to the Federalist Papers, revealing interesting correlations between word usage and behavior. By using pronouns and prepositions as a window into what we are feeling, this book is an entertaining and insightful exploration into the power of words.
