Paperback. Zustand: Good. Former comedy club host, online philosophy professor, and keynote speaker, Dr. Matt Deaton, demystifies public speaking as nothing more than idea transfer. His ambitiously titled The Best Public Speaking Book covers everything from preparation to posture, microphones to mindset, hand gestures to hecklers. And Deaton does it with such endearing levity that you forget you're learning to do something scarier than dying (according to Seinfeld).The core is captured by his Three Commandments: I. Know Thy Material II. Be Thyself III. Practice Study your subject, polish your authentic stage self, and rehearse, and you're more than halfway there. To get the rest of the way there's: The Urban Honey Badger (honored on the book's cover) - an unconventional assertiveness drill designed to vanquish nervousness and build a confident (and slightly edgy) stage presence How to develop a message that's easy for you to deliver and for your audience to absorb (when points logically flow, everyone wins) How to tailor your silent message to win your audience's respect and attention How to quickly recover when things go wrong (Blackout? Fire? No problem ) Growth assignments that take readers from the easiest of the easy (Checkout Speech is literally practicing your delivery in line at the grocery), through a library volunteer assignment (the audience is little kids, so the pressure's low - brilliant way to safely build experience), all the way through readers' original reason for studying public speaking (whether for school, work, or the prison talent show) How to effectively use PowerPoint (hint: visuals > text), present to a remote audience (assume they're watching Netflix. on the potty), select a quality clicker (hint: range > lasers) All the classic essentials, too: enunciation (Rubber baby buggy bumpers.), voice projection, eye contact (for audience members without face tattoos, anyway), when (and when not) to use a lectern, why reading a script is the lowest form of public speaking (good news: follow Deaton's Three Commandments and you won't need a script). Add a humble professor's touch - coaching, encouragement and inspiration (something Deaton admits needing lots of when he began), and you've got one heck of an engaging and effective book. Readers might also accidentally learn to overcome procrastination, transcend perfectionism, supplant negativity with optimism, grow from setbacks, and other corny self-help gems that happen to work. New in this revised second edition is a chapter on how to handle tough crowds, another on the speaking business (don't rule out getting paid to speak, argues Deaton - if it could happen to him, it can happen to you), chapters on each of his Three Commandments (surprisingly absent in the first edition), and a new YouTuber stretch assignment with an invitation to share a vid for friendly feedback. Read the reviews. Browse inside. See for yourself why this 2nd edition of Deaton's inviting how-to just might be the best public speaking book. But know that he expects application. If you're not up for reminders to stop reading and start doing, there are less demanding options available. This one isn't for spectators. It's for ambitious rookies with a seed of courage and the commitment to get better--the only two traits, argues Deaton, aspiring speakers need to succeed.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ethicist Rosalind Hursthouse once said we're in 'the happy position of there being more worthwhile things to do than can be fitted into one lifetime.' I'm glad we have options. But man, wouldn't it be nice if that lifetime were a little longer The good news is that our limited time forces us to choose wisely, and that we actually have enough time to choose widely as well.Some will tell you the key to success is to focus exclusively on one thing. You don't become Muhammad Ali dabbling. But while Ali boxed to the exclusion of most everything else, consider Leonardo da Vinci - a master of art, engineering, architecture and invention.I'd rather enjoy dozens of life's glorious options in depth than one option all the way down. You're free to disagree. But for my time, adventures (plural) are where it's at.The paths you choose are your call. But please do go ahead and choose. 85 will be here before you know it. And I want you to be able to experience and relive your own epiphanic joys: 'Ah, so this is what being a comedian is like, this is what being a professor is like, this is what being a fighter is like.'Each of these started as a wish, a hope, a dream. But dreams are for suckers. We translate our dreams into goals and get on with it.Commit, Begin, Research. No one's going to hand you the adventure you want and deserve. You have to take it.I'll leave you with one final journal entry from the day after my first fight: I went to sleep last night with a huge smile on my face, and when thanking Jesse this morning, told him that even if I was paralyzed tomorrow and could never box again, I'd die satisfied that I conquered my fear and did it. There's a 10-year-old bully victim deep inside that's really happy right now, despite how the judges scored the match.Being a fighter feels damn good: -) 99% of men fantasize about it. Only a fraction actually do it. I'll go to my grave proud that I'm a member of that percentage of a percent.…
