Publisher's Summary
New York Times Bestseller
“Catnip for all the TED fans out there.” —Publishers Weekly
“The most insightful book ever written on public speaking…a must-read.” —Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals
Since taking over TED in 2001, Chris Anderson has shown how carefully crafted talks can be the key to unlocking empathy, spreading knowledge, and promoting a shared dream. Done right, a talk can electrify a room and transform an audience’s worldview; it can be more powerful than anything in written form.
This “invaluable guide” (Publishers Weekly) explains how the miracle of powerful public speaking is achieved, and equips you to give it your best shot. There is no set formula, but there are tools that can empower any speaker.
Chris Anderson has worked with all the TED speakers who have inspired us the most, and here he shares insights from such favorites as Sir Ken Robinson, Salman Khan, Monica Lewinsky, and more—everything from how to craft your talk’s content to how you can be most effective on stage. This is a must-listen for anyone who is ready to create impact with their ideas.

Improve your Presentations
This was interesting for people who would like to improve their public speaking skills, not because it has all the answers. It is worth listening to because not only do you gain some history and information about TED Talks, but there are lots of little gems and ah-ha moments that can help you improve and build on your own skills. Worth listening and trying one thing at a time to improve your skills.

Inspiring
This book is well written and performed, and I found it encouraging. So many of us are ‘shy’ because we lack the skills presented here. I hope these techniques become standard in educational institutions.

Amazing!
Excellent insights into the art of good public speaking. Chris' conversational manner is as if you have him sitting in your very own lounge room sharing his expertise and observations. Chris frankly covers the do's and do not’s of good presentation - the rationale of creating simultaneous thought patterns in the minds of the entire audience is most enlightening. Chris expertly recalls examples of poor technique and awkward moments that is extremely helpful. He is always very positive and gracious in sharing how he has mentored presenters to bring the best out of their delivery.

Everything you need to know!
This book is so well laid out and presented. It covers literally everything you need to know!!I’m a confident public speaker, a lot of what was written resinated with me but there so much more I didn’t. This books has invaluable advice about planning your talk - not just words and how you’d say them but how you prepare, the details that you can’t control and you don’t even think of when you go to speak somewhere and how to overcome this. Very well done and a must listen / read !
