Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs two of the most talked-about guides to public speaking in print. TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking, by TED curator Chris Anderson, is a New York Times bestseller revealing the inside secrets behind unforgettable presentations. Talk Like TED, by communications coach Carmine Gallo, breaks down nine repeatable techniques used by the world's most compelling speakers. Together, the pair gives students, professionals, educators, and creators a toolkit for crafting talks that inform, persuade, and genuinely connect.

About the Books
Chris Anderson has led TED since 2001 and worked directly with hundreds of speakers who shaped how the world thinks about ideas worth spreading. In TED Talks, he distills that experience into five core techniques he calls Connection, Narration, Explanation, Persuasion, and Revelation, alongside candid advice on nerves, wardrobe, and rehearsal, drawing on insights from speakers like Sir Ken Robinson, Bill Gates, and Amy Cuddy. Carmine Gallo takes a complementary approach in Talk Like TED, analyzing hundreds of the platform's most-watched talks to isolate nine secrets shared by its best communicators, covering emotional storytelling, message simplicity, audience connection, and delivery techniques that hold a room's attention. Where Anderson offers the philosophy behind a great talk, Gallo supplies the tactical playbook, from stage presence to slide design. Read together, the two books move a speaker from first concept through final delivery, useful for a first-time presenter and a seasoned executive alike, with advice grounded in what has actually worked in front of real audiences.
