> I got the same book as the OP is speaking of...."How To STop Stuttering and Love SPeaking" by Lee Lovett....in order for this man's "techniques" to work one needs to be able to know what they will stutter on before it happens so they can do one of the following to prevent the stutter::: SKIP the word.....use another word.....babble a bunch of nonsense before what you THINK you might stutter on...in other words.....beat around the bush and not get to the point......whisper......linking words together....repeating affirmations........and reading aloud which does nothing!!! OF COURSE YOU WONT STUTTER WHEN READING ALOUD ALONE!!! That does not translate to real fluent speech with others.....!!! If one knows what they will stutter on before it happens....the book will help!!! The book will essentialy make one a covert stutter.......
