"How to Deliver a Great TED talk" is a complete public speaking system for delivering highly effective presentations and speeches. If you've watched TED talks before, you've no doubt been inspired and electrified by speeches by figures such as Sir Ken Robinson, Jill Bolte Taylor, Simon Sinek and Dan Pink. What makes these TED talks so inspiring? What is the secret formula for creating a successful TED talk? And how can you use this formula to deliver your own powerful TED talk (or any other presentation or speech, for that matter)? If you follow the guidelines and tools How to Deliver a Great TED Talk (previously published as "How to Deliver the Perfect TED Talk"), I guarantee that your audience will have no choice but to be wrapped up in your speeches and presentations. I studied more than 200 of the most inspiring TED talks, analyzed each one line by line and discovered the common elements that make them successful. This book is the result of my intensive research. In it, you'll discover tools that will help make you twice the speaker you are today in half the time. This book is also based on the work of bestselling authors Chip and Dan Heath. In their groundbreaking book, Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath revealed six simple principles for creating memorable messages. In this book, I have taken Chip and Dan's work and applied it to creating powerfully persuasive presentations. I use their SUCCESS framework and draw on examples from TED talks to show how the success principles can be applied to public speaking. More specifically, you will learn how to: -Craft a repeatable power phrase -Utlize the ABC-C speech structure -Use rhetorical devices to spice up your speech -Create an attention-grabbing opening -Build the body of your presentation/speech -Craft a compelling closing -Use statistics to grab attention -Create a wow-moment -Bring your characters to life -Use analogies, metaphors and similes -Turn your stories into mental movies -Build your credibility with the speech introduction -Add internal credibility to your presentation -Build an emotional connection with your audience -Use compelling visuals -Use PowerPoint the right way -Arouse your audience's curiosity -Use Sir Ken Robinson and Dan Pink's techniques for adding humor to a speech -Use rhetorical questions to hook your audience into your presentation -Use the five C's of storytelling to create spell-binding stories -Deliver dynamic TED talk (or any other presentation or speech) Whether you are scheduled to deliver a TED talk, a business presentation or a motivational or inspiring speech, this book will teach you the techniques used by some of the world's most powerful public speakers.

Better to Have Gone: Love, Death, and the Quest for Utopia in Auroville
*Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, New Statesman, Air Mail, and more * Longlisted for the Chautauqua Prize * Recipient of a Whiting Grant* A "haunting and elegant" (The Wall Street Journal) story about love, faith, the search for utopia--and the often devastating cost of idealism. It's the late 1960s, and two lovers converge on an arid patch of earth in South India. John Walker is the handsome scion of a powerful East Coast American family. Diane Maes is a beautiful hippie from Belgium. They have come to build a new world--Auroville, an international utopian community for thousands of people. Their faith is strong, the future bright. So how do John and Diane end up dying two decades later, on the same day, on a cracked concrete floor in a thatch hut by a remote canyon? This is the mystery Akash Kapur sets out to solve in Better to Have Gone, and it carries deep personal resonance: Diane and John were the parents of Akash's wife, Auralice. Akash and Auralice grew up in Auroville; like the rest of their community, they never really understood those deaths. In 2004, Akash and Auralice return to Auroville from New York, where they have been living with John's family. As they reestablish themselves in the community, along with their two sons, they must confront the ghosts of those distant deaths. Slowly, they come to understand how the tragic individual fates of John and Diane intersected with the collective history of their town. "A riveting account of human aspiration and folly taken to extremes" (The Boston Globe), Better to Have Gone probes the underexplored yet universal idea of utopia and portrays in vivid detail the daily life of one such community. Richly atmospheric and filled with remarkable characters, spread across time and continents, this is narrative writing of the highest order--a "gripping...compelling... and] heartbreaking story, deeply researched and lucidly told" (The New York Times Book Review).

A New Republic Editors' and Writers' Pick 2012A New Yorker Contributors' Pick 2012A Newsweek Must Read on Modern India "For people who savored Katherine Boo's Behind the Beautiful Forevers."--Evan Osnos, newyorker.com A portrait of the incredible change and economic development of modern India, and of social and national transformation there told through individual lives Raised in India, and educated in the U.S., Akash Kapur returned to India in 2003 to raise a family. What he found was an ancient country in transition. In search of the life that he and his wife want to lead, he meets an array of Indians who teach him much about the realities of this changed country: an old landowner sees his rural village destroyed by real estate developments, and crime and corruption breaking down the feudal authority; a 21-year-old single woman and a 35-year-old divorcee exploring the new cultural allowances for women; and a young gay man coming to terms with his sexual identity - something never allowed him a generation ago.As Akash and his wife struggle to find the right balance between growth and modernity and the simplicity and purity they had known from the Indian countryside a decade ago, they ultimately find a country that "has begun to dream." But also one that may be moving away too quickly from the valuable ways in which it is different.
