Titles in This Set: TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking — Chris Anderson Talk Like TED: The 9 Public-Speaking Secrets of the World's Top Minds — Carmine Gallo Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9789123859412 Publisher: John Murray Press, Pan Macmillan Age Range: Adult Overview This two-book paperback set pairs the official TED playbook with the most-cited breakdown of what makes a TED talk work. Chris Anderson, curator of TED, and Carmine Gallo, a Harvard instructor and communications coach, approach public speaking from two angles: insider philosophy and researched technique. Together they form a complete toolkit for anyone who pitches, presents, teaches or leads, and make a useful gift for a colleague or aspiring speaker. About the Book(s) TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking draws on Anderson's years curating the TED stage and the speakers he has personally coached, from Sir Ken Robinson to Amy Cuddy and Bill Gates. Rather than offering a single formula, Anderson sets out flexible frameworks for structuring an idea, building genuine connection with an audience, and delivering with authenticity instead of gimmicks. It moves through preparation, story construction, tone and staging, using real TED examples throughout, so readers see the advice applied rather than left abstract. Talk Like TED takes a more analytical route. Carmine Gallo, a former CNN and CBS correspondent turned communications coach, pulled apart hundreds of TED talks and interviewed top presenters, psychologists and neuroscientists to isolate nine repeatable secrets behind the most successful talks — covering emotional storytelling, novelty, humour, and the "unforgettable moment" audiences remember long after a talk ends. Where Anderson supplies the philosophy of a great talk, Gallo hands over concrete, checklist-style techniques for the next presentation or pitch. Read as a pair, the books complement rather than repeat each other.
