Recommendation

Brian Tracy is a master communicator who has made millions giving speeches and writing books. In this one, Tracy stresses that you must carefully plan every part of a speech, and that everything should flow logically from one idea to the next. Rehearse your speech until it is perfect. These are all great points. Their message? You must respect your audience and never waste its time. Unfortunately, Tracy sometimes doesn’t always heed his own wise counsel. In this book, he tends to reiterate certain pieces of information (especially his eight components of any long speech); This repetition is unnecessary, although the list and the pointers are valuable. Tracy possesses a wealth of knowledge about how to set up a speaking engagement, plan a speech and then communicate it with impact. Indeed, getAbstract confirms that you will find valuable nuggets of wisdom about public speaking on virtually every page of this book. Sometimes twice.

Take-Aways

  • Great rhetoric is a combination of logic, character and emotion.
  • Powerful public speaking depends far more on physical presence and body language than on the actual words of the speech.
  • Thoroughly consider who the audience members are when you prepare a speech.

    The way you introduced this book in "Get Abstract" is so direct and sincere that you convinced me to buy the subscription. It is actually why we look for an abstract in the first place: to avoid reading all that verbosity filling most books, and just get straight to the point. Thank you, excellent work!
