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-read for anyone
who is ready to create impact with their ideas.
