Master the one thing all great TED talks have in common!

What is the secret to delivering a great TED talk?

What is the magic ingredient that makes a TED talk captivating?

And more importantly, how can you use those secrets to make your presentations more powerful, dynamic, and engaging?

To try to answer these questions, I studied over 200 of the best TED talks. I broke each TED talk down in terms of structure, message, and delivery. Here's what I discovered: After studying over 200 TED talks, the one commonality among all the great TED talks is that they contain stories. Utilize advanced storytelling techniques to inject life into your presentations!

Essentially, the best speakers on the TED stage were the ones who had mastered the art of storytelling. They had mastered how to craft and present their stories in a way that allowed them to share their message with the world without seeming like they were lecturing their audience.

Discover the 23 storytelling secrets of the best TED talks! In this short, but powerful, guide you're going to learn how to use stories to make your presentations engaging and entertaining. Using case studies drawn from TED talks by Sir Ken Robinson, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Susan Cain, Leslie Morgan Steiner, Mike Rowe, and Malcom Gladwell, you'll learn how to craft stories that keep your audience mesmerized.

Short and straight to the point great tips

As I Ted Talks fan, I've listened to so many great talks, and over the years I've pin pointed couple of techniques people used to give compelling talks with. This book not only spoke out my mind, but also listed couple more techniques which are very handy.

The book is short and straight to the point; I liked it.

It's a sales pitch for Akash Karia

This sounds more like a commercial for AkashKaria.com than story telling techniques. I enjoyed the speaker though.

basics

goes over the basics..no depth..
can't complain for the price..
will look for other books for practicing story telling

Quick, efficient and to the point.

A lot to learn in less than an hour. I highly recommend for anyone who has a message to present in any setting.

Ironic

This book is my least favorite so far on audible. What's ironic is that the subject is about great storytelling and yet this is exactly where it falls short. I gave 3 stars because there is some useful info but the delivery is really weak. I sped it up to get through it faster... Also, I didn't count but he promoted his own website around a dozen times...painful.

Quick simple guide, but not for car based listening

To get the most out of this you need to hop from here to Ted talks. If you listen while driving this a bit of a hassle. The content is solid but slightly repetitive which given the short length was surprising. Literally the same words at times. Good intro to topic

Succinct and useful information

This audible is short, succinct and very useful. The author eats his own dogfood by showing and not telling. He uses TED talks to make his point and I got quite a bit out of the short, yet powerful reading.

Many helpful takeaways

I thought it was clear to the point and gave me pointers that I will use to improve my key note! Thank you!

Excellent!

Organized content. Easy to understand concepts. Clear points easy to remember. what I needed to know to develop my speeches-- Thank you!
