I like this book.

I keep going back through chapters and rereading them but the goal of the book is repeated throughout as well as multiple ways to create a better speaker of yourself. Lots of good info to use and I definitely see why they’ve described the tips as they did

This is a powerful book

The author shares his personal struggles with speaking - many that all of us go through like embarrassment, saying the wrong thing, and turning as red as a tomato on stage - and how he rose to eventually overcome them and now speaks to crowds of thousands.

This was a great book.

This is by far one of the best books I have read on public speaking. This book lays out the fundamentals of speaking in public. It has tactics for dealing with fear and public speaking nerves. Well organized and masterfully crafted into a quick reference guide that anyone can pick up and learn something from. I would recommend it for acknowledged speakers and newbies a like.
