How to Deliver a TED Talk, by Jeremey Donovan

I've been impressed with many of the TED talks that I've watched online. Standing for Technology, Education, Design, TED conferences present speakers who speak about "ideas worth spreading." Jeremy Donovan has been involved with TED and TEDx conferences for years and in this book provides guidance for readers who want to become better speakers. Whether you will ever give a talk at a TED or TEDx conference, the tips provided in this book will help you become a better speaker.

The bulk of the book focuses on content, delivery, and design. Donovan illustrates his points with many examples from famous TED talks. Readers can spend hours just looking up and watching many of the talks that he references. He uses charts to break down the main points of many of the talks that he cites, demonstrating how the talks are structured and supported by the speakers' main points. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to become a better speaker.
