80 two-page case studies in effective communication and persuasion. The content isn't just about communication basics--it offers practical tips for implementing proven techniques in spoken presentations, PowerPoint slides, and emails. For example, it suggests specific phrases to include ("What's in it for you?") that force you into effective communication patterns.

I really enjoyed this book a lot actually. It was easy to read and he followed his own advice about how to give presentations with the way he wrote it. Less is More, Transitions, etc. The reason I only gave it three stars is because there was really nothing new. It is all common sense but as he points out, very few people seem to follow the advice and take the easy way out. I am going to be giving a presentation soon and this book has reinforced in me that I'll be ok with PRACTICE!
I liked the emphasis on pausing and silence. But the analogies were often forced, and there wasn't all that much unique content in the book.
Eminently usable. The author doesn't waste time which doesn't waste yours. I think if more books were written this way more people with time squeezed schedules would read more.
Nice short chapters that break everything down
