Simple Steps to Master Public Speaking by Jared Bauman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An honest self-help book on the do’s and don’t’s, for people who are really interested in mastering public speaking.
The book is divided into four parts 1. Overcoming Anxiety – a prime factor which prevents many potential speakers to come on to the stage and express what they want to. 2. Preparation – The most important chunk of the book which equips a public speaker with all the knowledge and steps to go forward in facing the audience in front of him. 3. Delivery – The means by which the speaker delivers what he has prepared for and the actual process in which he should do. This is where the lion’s share of the suggestions are incorporated. 4. Beyond the Presentation – Recommended guidelines and etiquette in the process.

Overall…a good book from a Photographer turned Public Speaking expert Jared Bauman. All possible tips and suggestions are covered. Necessarily, the book would have been much better if more number of examples and illustrations are used in between for an interesting page turning experience. For some reasons, it appeared a little boring at one point of time.
