The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds

Saunders suggests that inspiration and growth come from “stepping away from what's comfortable ... In life, we all have tempests to ride and poles to walk to, and I think metaphorically speaking, at least, we could all benefit from getting outside the house a little more often, if only we could sum up the courage."

"There are two ways to beat the cruelty of the environment: You can become stronger or you can become smarter. We chose the latter,"

Don't fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it.

people don't know what they want and, if they do, they have a hard time articulating what they truly desire.

This book was okay. Most of the advice wasn't particularly new or groundbreaking, but I found the examples of how TED speakers use these "secrets" interesting. It's not a book that I would recommend to people who are looking for less standard public-speaking tips, but it might be helpful for those who just want a general picture / template.

The main points may be considered obvious by some reviewers, but the anecdotes and evidence around them are really valuable for someone lacking belief/learning these skills.

Presenting has always been something I've struggled with. If I'm well prepared and know my stuff, then I'm not at all scared - but when I don't invest the time it shows. Talk like Ted dives deeper into the core of the presentation - focusing on adding pathos, logos and ethos to your talks. I like the idea of sharing memorable experiences and novel statistics as a way to stand out as well.

从以前翻译相关的技术文章开始，我就觉得西方人在行文上有些啰嗦，这本书更是特别典型。以 How to read a book 的方式，其实前序及目录就完整的讲完了整本书。
 Emotional 
 Unleash the Master Within 

  

  In chapter 1 you’ll learn how to unleash the master within by identifying what it is that you are truly passionate about. You will read about research—never published in the popular press—that explains why passion is the key to mastering a skill like public speaking. 
  


 Master the Art of Storytelling 

  

  Chapter 2 teaches you how to master the art of storytelling and why stories help your listeners get emotionally attached to your topic. You’ll learn about new research that shows how stories actually “sync” your mind to those of your audience, allowing you to create far deeper and more-meaningful connections than you’ve ever experienced. 
  


 Have a Conversation 

  

  In chapter 3 you will learn how TED presenters exhibit body language and verbal delivery that is genuine and natural, almost as if they are having a conversation instead of addressing a large audience. You’ll also meet speakers who spent 200 hours rehearsing a presentation and learn how they practiced. You will learn techniques to make your presence and delivery more comfortable and impactful.
  


 Novel 
 Teach Me Something New 

  

  In chapter 4 we explore how the greatest TED presenters engage their audiences with new information or a unique approach to an area of study. 
  


 Deliver Jaw-Dropping Moments 

  

  Chapter 5 is about delivering jaw-dropping moments, highlighting those speakers who carefully, consciously design and deliver “wow” moments their audiences are still talking about years later. 
  


 Lighten Up 

  

  Chapter 6 addresses the sensitive but important element of genuine humor—when to use it, how to use it, and how to be funny without telling a joke.
  


 Memorable 
 Stick to the 18-Minute Rule 

  

  In chapter 7 I explore why the 18-minute TED presentation is the ideal length of time to get your point across.
  


 Paint a Mental Picture with Multisensory Experiences 

  

  Chapter 8 covers the importance of creating vivid, multisensory experiences so your audience can recall the content more successfully. 
  


 Stay in Your Lane 

  

  In chapter 9 I emphasize the importance of staying in your own lane, the ultimate key to being a genuine, authentic speaker whom people feel they can trust.
  


以这几个标准，花时间去研究一下书里提到的那些演讲人的视频或许可以收获更多。
