9 Wonder Words by Lucy Turner

Presents 'words of wellness' from ancient and modern languages throughout the world. These are special words not found in English, and which help you find hope in the future, calm in the chaotic present, self-confidence, and trust in others. Words for a way of thinking that leads to happier, healthier, lives, and sustainable societies. Each word is presented in a dictionary format that explains its meaning, origin, and etymological root, along with the story of how the author discovered it. This book draws on personal stories from Sierra Leone, Timor Leste, Haiti, Venezuela, Indonesia, Nepal, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Palestine, Japan, the Highlands of Scotland, Cowboy Church in West Texas, and San Quentin Prison in California, as well as studies in the fields of neurolinguistics, psychology, evolutionary biology, medicine, religion, and international development.
