Story
Most of us are quite relaxed and confident when we're with our friends and family. We can tell a story or even tell a joke. But put us on a platform and we can feel very different. When we speak to an audience, we often put on a public mask; and use a different voice. Why can't we seem to be ourselves when we give a talk? In this audiobook, we will look at all aspects of spoken communication, from structure right through to delivery. We will learn how to have a conversation with our audience - to be ourselves - so that we connect with them every time we speak.

However, if you incorporate these simple yet vital elements in this book, your message will be clearly conveyed, understood, and easily remembered.

Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease - a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

This book is comprehensive!
This is an excellent book on learning how to become a more effective public speaker. The book takes you through steps to become better and more confident. My favorite is the discussions on the practice using the power stance. This stance adds to your confidence and when practicing in front of a mirror, does wonders! From here you can also learn how to outline your speeches better. This is an excellent book.

Good for Those Afraid of Public Speaking
As an adult, I have always been afraid of public speaking which is weird because I used to do it as a child all the time! I really liked this book because it broke down each faucet of public speaking to make it seem less stressful and more enjoyable without the anxiety. It tells you what to do, how to think, and where to go in your mind while you're speaking. I highly recommend for those who a scaredy cats like me!

Comprehensive advice that works
The strategies for overcoming anxiety, the focus on preparation, understanding your audience, and even the part on how to use your voice effectively started to make sense to me. My favorite chapter was the one on social anxiety and transforming fear into confidence. For the first time, I'm not trying to avoid speaking opportunities. I've led a few meetings at work that have gone really well. If you're like me, someone who used to lose sleep over speaking in front of an audience, this audiobook is for you!
