The highlight of the bookBased on a detailed study of the most popular TED talks, the author has created step-by-step instructions that will help the reader choose a topic, write the text of the talk, and polish his style.

From the author During the work on the book, I was able to look through many videos of TED talks. But just as watching multiple episodes of Hell's Kitchen won't make you a chef, watching great speakers won't raise you to their level. Reading many books on this topic will not help either. The only way to master public speaking is through practice and feedback from audiences. Now go and spread your ideas.
