Customer Reviews

Tough Read
This book is a tough read, but has some very valuable information. The front side of the book is laborious to read and doesn't share a lot of new insights into presenting. But, if you can get through the core of the book, the backside has some hidden gems. Maybe a second time through would bring the front of the book more into perspective. Overall, as American Idol Randy Jackson says, "It was just alright."

Worth the cost and a bag of chips
Do not listen to naysayers. This book delivers what it promises. This book transends college text books and move you into the realm to really powerful presentation. If you are truly looking to improve your presentation skills, then get this book.

One Book - Complete to presenters and also for self-help
This is an excellent book. Probably the only one you'll need if you want to know about NLP and want to be a good presenter at the work or church. The book has plenty exercises and it is well written with just enough pictures, small chapters and deep subject with clear and concise explanation. I give it 5 stars, and I have read it many times and never get tired of reading it.
