Some tips, mostly selling at first.

I was hoping for something else. It is incredibly basic and the first few chapters is really just selling his other books. Some ideas are presented and then the akash karia website is referenced. not a huge fan but there are some useful tips throughout.

Great no nonsense course :) straight to the point!

I recomend it to everyone who needs to do a presentation

An ok book. Very repetitive.

There were some solid suggestions for slide design basics. I do wish the audiobook was less repetitive though. In print format maybe it made sense because you could scan headings and it doesn't matter as much if under the headings it says the same thing. but in narration many things were repeated one after the other which is a time-suck.

Good for teachers and speakers

Another good Audible how-to and it covers an often overlooked topic of presenting: the slides.

If you do not use slides, great. But if you do, this will give you a headstart on giving a content-rich and clutter-free talk. FYI: this is not a text on design software.

What a disappointment!

What disappointed you about How to Design TED Worthy Presentation Slides: Presentation Design Principles from the Best TED Talks?

The book is extremely repetitious. It clearly appears the author had little to say, so padded the book to make it appear to have more information than it does. It was not at all helpful. I do not like writing a negative review, but the book actually angered me in how it fell so far short of being as advertised. I did listen to it (audible version) rather than reading it. It may be the print version would be better, but I doubt it.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I usually listen to novels. I am interested in more books on public speaking and TED talks, but after my experience with this book, I will be wary of what I purchase in that area.

Would you be willing to try another one of Matt Stone’s performances?

I should not judge Matt by way of the quality of what he had to read. In other circumstance, he might be good.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Total waste.
