Book Reviews of The Power Presenter: Technique, Style, and Strategy from America's Top Speaking Coach

Book Review: Very Good Book on Public Speaking, With Some Reservations
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is a good read, and it accomplishes it's main goal: to educate the reader on how to become a better, less fearful speaker. The author has a theory: that the WORDS of a speech are not as important as the speaker himself. In Weissman's opinion, a speaker's charisma counts for a great deal more than even the message he/she is trying to convey. I agree with the author to some extent, and he paints a very good argument for his belief.

This book would be useful to anyone who is trying to cultivate a speaking job-- as an author, I find that marketing is becoming more and more my responsibility, and part of that includes speaking in person, at book fairs, in seminars, etc.

The only drawback I saw in this book was the repeated back-patting and self-promotion. Authors must learn how to self-promote in order to be successful, but there's a fine line where this becomes excessive.

But if you can get past the political jargon and the self-serving aspects, it's a very useful book.
