TED Talks

“If you’re passionate about something then it is worthy of sharing with others. You absolutely will not inspire anyone if you yourself remain uninspired. Be purposeful, enthusiastic, and passionate, and people will see the meaningful connection that you have with your subject matter.”I have to be honest, I didn’t know what TED was when I came across this book, however I struggle with public speaking and thought I had found the resource to help me. Did I ever! Jacob delivers a comprehensive yet extremely detailed, well-written guide that gave me everything I needed not only to overcome my fears of public speaking, but also to speak on subjects that I am deeply passionate about. I learned I have something to say and people really do want to hear it. So be inspired, find out what you are passionate about-learn Jacob’s tips and tricks, overcome your fears and become the speaker you’ve always wanted to be.

I have seen many videos of TED Talks, but I had no idea so much went into them. This book tells you how you can learn to speak better in public settings and deliver powerful speeches with the TED approach. Many of the tips in the book are common sense, but are also very important things you need to know, such as being true to yourself and making sure your idea is actually marketable. There is also a list of things you will absolutely need, such as slides, videos, and images. I think his would be invaluable to someone interested in learning the TED way or even just to be a better speaker.

I bought this book to prepare for a short speech I have to give on my office, I am super shy and nervous when it comes to speeches,my hands shiver, sometimes I can't even talk common words!!! And to be honest I found this book very informative, this book explains how to face the public and express our thoughts in a simple way, so our speeches make sense to everyone. This book splits our speeches to several parts, and gives us a general idea how to execute this process efficiently. If we follow the instruction gave in this book, we certainly can make a "TED" like speech by ourselves.

There seem to be several books on the market on TED Talks. This one is a C+/B-. I expected more but there was some good material in it. A better book is "Talk Like TED." If you are looking for one on TED that is the one to go with.

Very good info.

Short but with precise

The book is a great read for all types of presentations. I gained a lot of valuable insight about how to share my ideas more effectively.
