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.

Good tips and nice anecdoes
My biggest take away from this book is how many of the TED speakers are not naturally charismatic or good speakers, and how TED staff works with them (or sometimes edits them) to deliver the quality of talk that we see online. The book is full of useful tips so you probably want to listen to it with a note pad/app to hand.

Very useful information
I found a lot of useful information in this audio version and it was well explained. I didn't feel I wanted to listen from end to end as there is no plot but I will dip in and out of it when I need confidence in speaking in public as it's quite inspiring

Totally comprehensive overview of public speaking
So many helpful tips from a man who genuinely knows what he’s talking about and the billions of views go to prove it.

Thought provoking
A useful book for anyone who does any form of public speaking. More thought provoking than instructional it puts the art of public speaking under the microscope and highlights how there are many styles and techniques that can be deployed.

Valuable content for speakers across the spectrum
As a professional keynote speaker I'm always eager for opportunities to develop my performance and content. This book helped me to troubleshoot a few issues with lots of 'a-ha!' moments, and I often found myself excitedly making notes about things to try and explore. Usually listened to this during runs without losing attention. A friendly and well structured book.
