Talk Like Ted: The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds by Carmine Gallo   304 pages

Excellent book with so much knowledge to share with the reader on how to be able to get up in front of an audience and be comfortable, present knowledgeably and be entertaining so you don't lose your audience.  So many examples of speakers who gave memorable presentations that have gone viral.   Gives pros of using visual stimulation to make your talks dynamic as you share your knowledge with the group and how to keep from putting them to sleep.   Lessons are given on cadence of speech, how to manipulate the volume of your voice to surprise the listeners and emphasize your point.   So much excellent information to be gleaned here it is like taking a college course with the most interesting teacher you have ever been instructed by.   I highly recommend this book to middle-schoolers on up.   You can't learn this stuff early enough and it will help careers to take off and people to cross the world's worst fear off their list.
