although the material has merit, this book is something that should be read and studied, not an audiobook. I've tried listening to it several times and I've only made it through chapter 6 and I think I'm done. the narrator's voice is so monotone and drones and it's really hard to listen to which is ironic for a book about public speaking.

Not in my style, includes too many useless examples, and some topics are barely discussed. The narrator’s voice is irritating.

Well i pretty much believe that our speaking skills are as much as important part of our personality as our appearance is and since our way of verbally present ourselves can not only help us land a good job but also makes us good leader. This book teaches us the science of perfecting public speaking. Just go for it guys, you are going to love it. 👍
