Akash Karia's book follows the format of Chip and Dan Heath's acronym for creating memorable messages, talks and presentations. Each chapter ends with a short 'In a Nutshell' summary and the pages are loaded with tips and techniques about preparation, content and delivery. The genius of this is that the book is an immediate ready-reference or checklist for the person preparing a presentation or talk.
I would have liked more on preparing of self mentally prior to giving a presentation, and something on de-briefing post-presentation in preparation for the next one.
I also am hesitant about using stated or implied, over-the-top big promises. This can backfire. But overall, a very well researched and presented addition to the speaker's/ presenter's/ influencer's library
