If you plan to do some public speaking, no matter the venue, this book is well worth your time. Tips on organization, tactics for better communicating your thoughts, and many tips on presentation methods.
Rating: 4TED Talks starts out a little too fluffy and feel-good-y. It's not until Chapter 3, "Common Traps," where things get more practical starting with the four don'ts: No sales pitches, no rambling, no boring your audience with how great your office/organization/team is, and no substituting style for substance thinking no one will notice. Each of these shares a commonality which is discussed in the chapter and that is TED-level presentations are about giving, not taking. The root fault of the four types of bad speeches is a presenter taking the audiences time and attention while giving little or nothing in return.
Rating: 4Excellent book on public speaking and especially the "TED way" - which really is simply to present a great idea.
Rating: 5An alright book if you wanted to know about the founder's journey. Though only through the last few chapters that the author mentions how to be a better speaker.
Rating: 5I am overwhelmed with joy and all the things I have heard on this audiobook it has opened my mind and expanded my ability to dream a dream that only I know but now I can share my dream with others. thank you very much
Rating: 5
A comprehensive guide to public speaking sprinkled with hundreds of examples from talks delivered at TED platform. An absolute reading for someone who is interested in giving attention grabbing and powerful talks.
Rating: 5A great insightful book that explains what it takes not only to be a TED speaker but a public speaker in general.
Rating: 5

Rating: 5
Absolutely indelible! I loved the book, the content, the language, the inspiring messages, everything. And it was narrated by 3 people so it made it a great listen. I highly recommend, because even if you never thought about giving a public talk, this book would make you want to give one.
Rating: 5I grew up paying attention to my school teachers and to Southern Baptist preachers. There was a gap in what I heard. I heard lots of reason-based presentations at school. I learned in detail how the world worked (nature and humanity). I learned to think, to question, and to present myself as a reasonable human being.
However, at church, I learned something different. I learned the art of rhetoric. While at school, I learned how to evaluate an argument, at church, I learned how to make an argument. To present myself in a manner that worked with normal people. School taught me the dignified way of presentation; church taught me the effective way of presentation.
I hate to say it, but there's a difference. My schooling did not teach me leadership - to be effective. It did teach me efficiency - something my church pastors could have learned.
Fortunately, the TED program (as described in this book) is both effective and efficient in its aims. In it, I reminded myself of public-speaking principles for effective presentations. I learned about new, innovative ways of connecting with my audiences.
Most importantly, I learned ways that people are excited about transforming the world through thoughtful presentations. Example after example were drawn from real TED Talks about how to present effectively and efficiently. I was inspired over and over again while I honed my public speaking skills.
As the old saying goes, the world will marvel as you do common things in an uncommon way. This book definitely achieved that. Public speaking was refreshed as leadership in communication was inspired. Good rhetoric was taught. I recommend it to anyone who seeks to connect better with their fellow humans.

This is an excellent introduction not just to the format and ingredients of TED talks, but to best practices in public speaking and the art of communication in general. Clear, concise, intelligent, and engaging.
Rating: 5Practical insights to clear up the "why" and tips to reach today's audience with worthwhile messages
Rating: 5Anyone who has spoken to me in the last six months knows I love this book. I’ve been raving about it seen I first discovered it last fall.I’ve been a TED fan for years but my interest in Anderson’s book goes beyond the TED experience to how I can incorporate his suggestions into my communications classes at UBC.Overwhelmingly, I’ve seen students at every level ask for more instruction on public speaking. And while almost all my classes incorporate a formal presentation as part of the requirements, I’ve noticed that I’m not seeing a lot of improvement in student public speaking skills.What Anderson talks about in this book is integral to the TED experience: making a talk worth sharing. Telling a story. Making it clear that you have something important to share with an audience who can benefit from hearing it. And this is the most difficult part for my students. Identifying what is important in their work.I’ve been teaching a research writing course to graduate students in Engineering for almost a year now. I’ve seen three different classes of grad students share their writing with me. At the end of each course, students must create a short (5-minute) presentation about their research. And this is difficult for them. The audience is comprised of other graduate students and myself. An educated audience. But we all have varied levels of expertise. Because their research is usually very specialized, they must make it understandable and accessible to myself (an academic from a different discipline) and their classmates (academics from different sub-disciplines; what a mechanical engineering MA student studies is very different than what a civil engineering PhD student studies).The research these students are engaging in is fascinating and varied. But identifying the piece in their research that is compelling to a wider audience is a challenge. Anderson’s book gives a lot of tips for doing just that. In addition, he illustrates those tips with examples from all different kinds of TED talks. Then he challenges the reader to use similar techniques to create powerful presentations.I’ve bought the e-book, the audio book, and the print copy of this work and I then asked our UBC Librarian to order a copy for students to borrow. So you know I’m going to strongly recommend it. If you want to improve any kind of public speaking, check out Anderson’s book!
