3.0 out of 5 starsEffective speaking / presenting: Falls Short
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 17 July 2014
I rate this book as average as it does a good job of describing the presentation styles and learnings from some of the most successful presenters at Ted. However, it falls materially short in some other aspects.

Using stories, being passionate, offering new material, being humorous; these are all components of a good presentation. However, this is not a medicine that can fit to all circumstances. For example, I am not sure if Dr. Jill brought that human brain to a room full of brain scientists, it would have had the same effect that it had on a room full of high schoolers.

One of the key ingredients of a key presentation is to know your audience. What could be a good presentation to one audience, could end up being a nightmare to another.

Read it if for presenting a topic that is relatively unfamiliar to your audience.

4.0 out of 5 stars So for the love of learning, this book can be a starter guide.

Carmine Gallo’s book Talk Like TED is not only targeted at people who are public speakers or training coaches. It is also for the presenters, teachers or anyone who wants to deliver something to a crowd.
It is tricky to talk about the book and pass a verdict. The book would be helpful for many across levels. It might be a skimming through the notes if you are a public speaker and already know the nuances of speaking. It may be a guide for someone who has delivered few presentations but wants to deliver an impactful one or someone who is so terrified of speaking that he wants to cover all corners before landing the arena. The book does not provide new approaches or tips and tricks. But I believe that is not the essence of every self-help book. Sometimes the iteration helps us in revisiting the obvious things which we miss while doing something. The book highlights the need to be creative with your script. The persistence and preparation. The power of images, videos, humour over the bullet points. The art of saying in a few words. And how your personality should reflect in your presentation. With the list of suggestions, the book also provides an exhaustive list of TED talks from which you can correlate the art of presentation. Most of the time we hear TED talks understanding the speakers’ point of view but after reading this book, the TED talks will help you in understanding how each of the speakers’ delivered their talks. What are the nuances they followed? How they said it through pictures, humour, fear, videos or practical props. Whether you are going to present on a stage like TED or not, learning the art of communication is something which everyone should learn. So for the love of learning, this book can be a starter guide.

TED talks are now considered the standard in terms of public speaking. Of course, the principles in this book are useful for non-TED talks as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Talk like as if Everyone wants to listen to you
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 6 September 2014

The author has a niche in writing books about communication and this book also an example of his skill where he share his analysis of TED talks around the world.

What makes TED speakers the best presenters, what rule they follow, how they create effective presentations, why peoples listen to them, how they create jaw dropping moments, how they use humor? All of these questions are answered in the book under nine chapters.

The definitive read for those who want to learn How to Talk like TED and MUST read for those who are going to give TED talk. (But I believe that you only need to learn the basics as described in the books of Dale Carnegie and then watch TED talks on youtube. Closely watch what tricks they are using.)

This book is so well written that even the summaries of the presentations the author talks about are more impressive than the TED talks themselves. Totally worth reading.
I heard the audio version of this book cover to cover.
The storytelling in this book is excellent.
The detailed examples will help anyone who speaks in public.
I enjoyed the writing in this book and recommend it.
