I'm one of those weird introverts that enjoys public speaking, but that didn't happen until I was older. Like the Warren Buffett example in this book, when I was younger I was afraid to even introduce myself the first day of school.
Feeling comfortable with public speaking takes some learning, and I have taken several classes on it, and I feel that this book captures everything I've been taught in the past, plus stuff I've never thought of. And it was well organized and easy to read. I am sure I'll reference this book in the future, and I highly recommend it.
