Books By Chris Anderson
'This is not just the most insightful book ever written on public speaking-it's also a brilliant, profound look at how to communicate' - Adam Grant, author of ORIGINALS
In Ted Talks Chris Anderson, Head of TED, reveals the inside secrets of how to give a first-class presentation. Where books like Talk Like TED and TED Talks Storytelling whetted the appetite, here is the official TED guide to public speaking from the man who put TED talks on the world's stage. 'Nobody in the world better understands the art and science of public speaking than Chris Anderson. He is absolutely the best person to have written this book' Elizabeth Gilbert.
Anderson shares his five key techniques to presentation success: Connection, Narration, Explanation, Persuasion and Revelation (plus the three to avoid). He also answers the most frequently asked questions about giving a talk, from 'What should I wear?' to 'How do I handle my nerves?'.
Ted Talks is also full of presentation tips from such TED notable speakers as Sir Ken Robinson, Bill Gates, Mary Roach, Amy Cuddy, Elizabeth Gilbert, Dan Gilbert, Amanda Palmer, Matt Ridley and many more. This is a lively, fun read with great practical application from the man who knows what goes into a truly memorable speech. In Ted Talks Anderson pulls back the TED curtain for anyone who wants to learn how to prepare an exceptional presentation.
Was als jährlich stattfindende Innovationskonferenz in Kalifornien begann, ist mittlerweile zu einem globalen Phänomen geworden: TED Talks werden in Städten auf der ganzen Welt gehalten und im Internet frei zugänglich gemacht. Den Themen sind keine Grenzen gesetzt, einziges Kriterium: die Ideen müssen begeistern und inspirieren – und das in 18 Minuten. Anderson verfügt über einen immensen Erfahrungsschatz und weiß, was eine gute Rede gut macht. Und genau das verrät er in diesem Buch:
- Wie entwickle ich eine Idee und spinne einen roten Faden?
- Wie bereite ich mich vor: Schreibe ich ein Skript oder spreche ich frei?
- Was ziehe ich an?
- Und wie gehe ich mit Lampenfieber um?
»Wenn Sie vorhaben, auch nur einen Ton von sich zu geben, sollten Sie dieses Buch lesen.« Adam Grant
»Mit den TED Talks ist die Kunst der Rhetorik für das 21. Jahrhundert neu erfunden worden. (...) Hinter dieser Revolution steckt Chris Anderson, der die Vision hat, dass gute Ideen die Welt verbessern können, und einen Leitfaden für die gute, überzeugende Rede entwickelt hat.« Steven Pinker
