Book Reviews of Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery

Book Review: In My Top 10 Books
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a must have for anyone wanting to communicate to an audience. The book is written in a logical sequence and like it's central premise uses images freely to make each major point in the book ... well visual. Anyone that has ever been to a good presentation innately can see why they enjoyed the presentation. And the corollary is equally true, just spoken words and bullet points do not stick and leave the audience bored and tuned out. The most lasting lesson in the book is that "creativity comes from constraints" - less is more. I would also recommend that you get the paperback version as opposed to the Kindle version as the latter does not show all the images and they are by definition black and white. If you are a presenter on a regular basis make sure your briefcase contains this presentation "bible".

Combining solid principles of design with the tenets of Zen simplicity, this book will help you along the path to simpler, more effective presentations.
