The speeches used were powerful and insightful and the presenters were authentic! After reading, or watching the presentations the book broke down every part of the speech into fascinating detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm recommending this book to everyone

Akash has put all the best speech writing tips into one easy-to-follow book. I've already recommended it to friends and family who not only have to give presentations at work, but also participate in PTA and neighborhood meetings. The basics are here - preparation is everything. If only everyone followed these steps, I'd be way more likely not to fall asleep at city council meetings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed with this book
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2014

Disappointed with this book. It is written for competitive speakers, and somehow I missed that point when seeking out the book. There are many good tips and will learn from the material, but think the book description should have pointed this fact out.

There is nothing new in my opinion that you still do not know about presentations on this book. Also I made a mistake renting this book on my Kindle because I have to read fast or else the pages will disappear after a few minutes that you are allowed to read it. Renting books on Kindle should be for those who have taken a course on "Speed Reading", I did not.
