## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    If you only read one book on public speaking— it should be this one.
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2022*

Most of the books on public speaking (at least the ones I’ve come across) are repetitive and often useless. This one is a GEM. I could not put it down and finished it in two days. The techniques are broken down in a way that makes sense, and the author’s writing style is conversational and hilarious. I felt more prepared for public speaking after reading this book and doing the exercises than any other resource I’ve ever come across on this topic. MANY THANKS.

Life is all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship's kitchen. This book gleans new perspective on presentations. Maybe not new. After all, Michael Port does a decent job breaking down the fine art of presentation in his book 
  
Steal the Show







  
  
    . I've been an entertainer for over two decades, primarily as a Wedding Master of Ceremonies. In recent years, I have started speaking to groups of small business owners - as few as eight people in a room, to as many as 800 in the room. Funny makes or breaks you, which is why David Nihill's accounts spending time as a nervous wreck of a stand-up comic is like pure gold.The author does a brilliant job of breaking down the 7 Comedy Habits. One that I feel most people tend to forget: Rehearsed Spontaneity. You can write jokes all day long, great jokes, but if you sound scripted nobody will care. They will tune you out, and if they have a chance, stand up and leave the room. I've seen it happen. DYTF prepares you for this.I think the unique thing in this book has to be the Tipliography in the back. Nihill even admits to making the word up, but it's full of the best tips that the most seasoned comedians utilize to build their material. All told, there are 80 of them. If you really want to know what this book is about, pick it up and read pages 143-160 first. Highlight the ones that resonate with you or that you find interesting, then go back and read the book start to finish (shouldn't take you more than an hour or two - really, it's a quick and fun read and I rarely ever finish self-help books). Repeat. You'll find your strengths and weaknesses, and you'll start being funny at all the right moments.If you find yourself needing to deliver any kind of presentation, be it once or over and over again, this is a great read to put and exorbitant amount of life into you, your message, and your audience.

    Brainwashed Toastmaster Likes the Book
  

*by E***) on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2016*

At the outset, let me state that I received an advanced copy to review without cost.I'm a member of a local Toastmasters club, completed my CC and working on a double DTM (if you're into TM, then you know what I mean). I was raised on PBS, British comedies, and have a highly idiosyncratic sense of humour - meaning that, generally, only long-time friends and family members get my humour. I'm fairly adept at academic, inspirational and informational speaking, but felt that I could use some humour training. I found Mr. Nihill's blog very helpful. That's how I ended up getting to review the book.This book takes the info on the blog (and his information out there in inter-verse) to a whole new level. I've read it once and plan on reading it again very soon. I was so engrossed that I would make up fictitious spills on my tablet screen so my co-workers didn't know I was taking it into the lavatory to read during my water-closeting breaks. The tone is conversational, like a public-speaking mentor you go out for pints with (which might count for the bit of wordiness here and there). The examples and suggestions are realistic and easy to comprehend. This is not an academic treatise or a "philosophy of funny" thesis - it's a good, basic, nuts and bolts guide to developing the skills necessary to grow as a humourous speaker.  Maybe it is a bit basic for those of you who are naturally gifted and who pull gufffaws out of people like bonobos pick chits out of fur, but for those of us who stumble in that area (being funny, not chit-picking), - the book is a real value. I wish I'd read this book before I gave my Humourous Speech Contest bomb on the Cain and Abel story. I'll be recommending it to a newbie Toastmaster I eventually get selected to mentor.Other than a free review book, I didn't get chit for writing this.
