قرأتُ النصف الثاني من الكتاب ضمن مادة جامعية، المادة أنسب لفيديو يوتيوب من كتاب: أولاً لأن طبيعة المحتوى أقرب إلى شخص يدردش ويعطيك نصائح شخصية، وثانيًا لأن معظم النصائح تتمحور حول أسلوب الإلقاء والإيماءات والعرض والصوت، وهي أمور لا فائدة من تلقينها كتابةً. المحتوى بسيط جدًا وليست فيه أي نصائح مبهرة أو جديدة.
