New York Times Bestselling Author and Influential Pastor Mark Batterson Equips Readers to Revolutionize their Relationships and Careers with Three Simple Words In his new book,
Please, Sorry, Thanks: The Three Words That Change Everything (Multnomah/Penguin Random House; on-sale 4/4/23),
New York Times bestselling author and nationally respected pastor Mark Batterson says that the best predictor of success in life, in love, and in leadership is our proficiency in
please, sorry, and
thanks.
With his trademark blend of personal stories, scientific and historical references, and biblical insight, Batterson emphasizes that these three words:
· lay the foundation of all healthy relationships and successful careers
· set the only ceiling on achieving a person’s dreams, and
· determine the levels of happiness we can experience
Throughout this perspective-shifting book, Batterson shows readers how to change their world with their words, while exploring:
- The Psychology of Please: A timely please can help you unlock the rule of reciprocity for greater results, discover the power of “we is greater than me,” and honor others above yourself.
- The Science of Sorry: A sincere sorry can lead you to mend broken relationships, strengthen connections through being radically vulnerable, and better understand the degrees of forgiveness.
- The Theology of Thanks: A heartfelt thanks paves the way toward a resilient mindset of gratitude and an expectancy to see God move on your behalf.
Batterson also
explains the art of empathy, the language of lament, and how strengthening our emotional and contextual intelligence can pave the way to greater success in every aspect of our lives. Readers will also learn how to:
· cultivate intimate relationships
· make amends for mistakes
· find true happiness
· shift the atmosphere at home
· change the culture at work
· win friends and influence people
Whether someone is launching out into a new phase of life or navigating long-established complexities, Batterson helps them harness the power of these three transformative words to propel them to a brighter destiny.

Carey Nieuwhof, founder of the Art of Leadership Academy“Powerful, moving, and needed! With just three little words, Mark Batterson will change your perspective on just about everything from your faith to your relationships to the way you speak to yourself.”—
Dr. Anita Phillips, trauma therapist and author of The Garden Within Notable Quotes from Please, Sorry, Thanks by Mark Batterson· Nothing opens doors like PLEASE. Nothing mends fences like SORRY. Nothing builds bridges like THANKS.
· Please is the way we level the playing field and find common ground. Please is the way we show respect, even to those we disagree with. Please is the way we bring some civility back to the public square. Please is one of the most important words we can ever say.
· Nothing mends fences like sorry. Every apology begins with empathy….Without empathy, our apologies are empty. Saying sorry without feeling sorry sends mixed signals. Are you or aren’t you sorry? You have to own the apology!
· Nothing builds bridges like thanks. The theology of thanks starts with the things we take for granted. It's cultivating profound gratitude for the things we overlook and under-appreciate.
