Before this Easter Holiday, I got an electric version of this book,
reading this book reminders me of the time I spend in the Toastmaster
club many years ago.
After skimming this book, I immediately sent the book to my 15-years
old daughter, I feel she needs this book to make the changes on
communicate with peer students and conquer the fear of public
speaking. I also shared some of the stories I have learned form
the books and wish she could also be inspired and make the changes.
In the book, the writer Philipp is like a nice mentor vividly sharing his
ideas and methods. Many stories relate to his
own experiences and his tune is also very friendly and
encouraging.
I should say, it should have covered most of the public speaking
speaking skills/tips I learned from Toastmasters and all these
contents are organized efficiently in such a short book which is
not easy. Compared with the Toastmasters manual, there are more
tips/drills like "Meditation", try "Constructive Embarrassment", "Shake
Off" your nervousness etc.
I will come back to this book again and again, and do more practice
using the workbook.
If you want to get yourself on the spot faster, the book should
be satisfied with all your needs.
And it is also recommended to the youth, I should say if they can gain
the skills and update the mindset at an early age in their life, it
will be beneficial for their future.

This book can build your speaking foundation
Ten pages into this book, I realized that Humm gets it: how you go from a regular concurrent session trainer to a captivating keynote storyteller.
I'm a way, Humm's writing style exemplifies the techniques he teaches you. A trait of an exemplar speaker is the ability of explaining a complex concept in terms that anyone could understand.
Now that I've read the book, I'm looking forward to reviewing my notes. In about a year, I'll read it again and reflect how much I've developed since I first picked up the book.
If you want to become a better speaker or even a more engaging conversationalist, you'll appreciate what you can learn from Humm.
