Required reading for anyone either producing TEDx events or wanting to give a talk, TED or otherwise
Chris Anderson has gathered insights from the experience of good, great and very bad speakers across the world and boiled them down to this very engaging book. This is required reading for anyone either producing TEDx events or wanting to give a talk, TED or otherwise. Having curated two TEDx events, I know how much work goes into developing a TED talk and how the relationship between speaker and curator is so important. TED works because people follow its rules, based on experience and best practice, but these are much more flexible than you think and the model is evolving all the time. This was an aspect of the book I found particularly interesting. The beauty of TED is that it motivates speakers to a powerful performance in order to reach out a wide, international audience. TED Talks provides a wealth of useful tips and guidance to enable them to do that.

Short, to the point, excellent advice on public speaking
I curate a TEDx stage and give this book to every speaker we select, every year. It's a great book, not just for understanding what makes TED talks powerful but in general if you want to have impact as a speaker - get this book.

Wow!
Über ein Präsentationstraining bin ich auf TED Talks und schliesslich auch dieses Buch gestolpert. Noch nie habe ich so ein hilfreiches und interessantes Buch über Präsentationen gelesen wie dieses. Jeder Präsentationstrainer sagt: "Niemals auswendig lernen". Nicht so dieses Buch, das aber auch auswendig lernen nicht gleich mit ablesen gleichsetzt. Kennt man seine Präsentation in- und auswendig kann man sich auf andere Sachen wie Blickkontakt, Sprechgeschwindigkeit, etc. voll konzentrieren. Etwas das ich intuitiv in der Vergangenheit immer gemacht habe und aufgrund des Feedbacks von Trainern immer wieder versucht habe abzubauen. Dieses Buch hat mir bestätigt, dass ich auf dem richtigen weg bin und noch zahlreiche weitere geniale Tips vermittelt auch wenn ich nicht davon ausgehe jemals auf eine TED-Bühne zu stehen :-)

Informative and entertaining
Haven’t finished it but I’m learning a lot from it. I feel like every page I read I had to stop and reflect on it. To ascertain what msg it is telling me.
