About this listen
A practical and accessible guide to getting across complex information clearly, by BBC presenter and journalist Ros Atkins, creator of the viral 'Ros Atkins on...' explainer videos.
Explanation - conveying meaning - is an art. And the BBC presenter and journalist Ros Atkins, creator of the viral 'Ros Atkins on...' explainer videos, is something of a master of the form. In this book, Ros shares the secrets he has learned from years of working in high-pressure newsrooms, identifying the ten elements of a good explanation and the seven steps you need to take to express yourself as persuasively and accurately as possible.
Whether you need to articulate your thoughts clearly for business, educational or social purposes, The Art of Explanation is a must-listen for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills.

Excellent
This could be on of my favourite self-improvement books of all time. Well worth listening too. I have noticed or experienced quite a few of the observations mentioned in the book. So, it was interesting to hear about them more completely in a way that I had not understood.

That there are clear steps to take towards better explanation
I need to listen again because there is a lot of very useful information. But this book gives me hope that I can explain myself better.

Extra PDF would be useful
Extra PDF would be useful for audio version. Buy the actual book. Lots of great tips.

Does what it says on the tin
Read this if you want a clear eloquent guide to explaining things clearly and, um, eloquently.
The methodical, logical process will help you organise your thoughts, whether your mind is spinning wildly or you’re starring at a blank page.
So good that I bought the hardback after listening to the audiobook. And Ros seems like a thoroughly nice bloke too.

Ros Atkins is THE storyteller from the BBC. He reveals all his storytelling secrets here. Thank you - it feels like a life gift as opposed to a purchase.

Masterful
Brilliant, clear, & practice. Nothing else needed. His voice and its association make this sound masterful - back by evidence of delivering. Constantly

intuitive and structured narration
I think this book contains a lot of intuitive knowledge, which is laid out in a very practical and structured way via mostly relatable real world examples. admittedly at times my mind wandered off, but I have adhd and so I'm happy to have digested most of the narrations. it also doesn't help his voice is quite soothing. overall a good book that makes you think about communication in a more compartmentalised, intentional way

Excellent in content and delivery
Fabulous listen. So well articulated and delivered. Like listening to one of Ros’s explainers, I couldn’t turn it off. A lot of content clearly told; much self-deprecation which endears you to the author and makes you more admire the earnest deliberation he gives to his art. Will be standard issue for companies and university students one hopes!
