Public speaking has often been an area that many people choose to stay away from. It deters people in a number of ways that may be based on psychological factors. For example, public speaking is feared by some people because of the attention that they receive. Useful tips to overcome such fears are mentioned in Talk Like TED.

The 18 minute rule, the use of humor and the art of storytelling are some of the topics explored by the author in this book. Ideas have been described as the ultimate currency and in that sense, the success of someone depends on the ability to sell ideas. Talk Like TED gives its readers wellresearched factors that influence a person’s ability to publicly orate.
