Book Description:
FOREWORD BY GUY KAWASAKI

Presentation designer and internationally acclaimed communications expert Garr Reynolds, creator of the most popular Web site on presentation design and delivery on the net -- presentationzen.com -- shares his experience in a provocative mix of illumination, inspiration, education, and guidance that will change the way you think about making presentations with PowerPoint or Keynote. Presentation Zen challenges the conventional wisdom of making 'slide presentations' in today's world and encourages you to think differently and more creatively about the preparation, design, and delivery of your presentations. Garr shares lessons and perspectives that draw upon practical advice from the fields of communication and business. Combining solid principles of design with the tenets of Zen simplicity, this book will help you along the path to simpler, more effective presentations.

- Useless fluff, not good for scientists
I am a scientist, and I have given hundreds of presentations. I was hoping that this book would be applicable, but it is not. Somehow, the "professional stock photos" suggested cannot convey scientific data. There were no substantive suggestions or guidelines in this book.

Perhaps if you are a motivational speaker "I live in a van by the river" this would be useful.

If you are required to give presentations that convey data (experimental results, financial data) skip this book.

Sorry I wasted my money,
Teresa

- Content not just presentation
In the foreword, Guy Kawasaki said "So open your wallet. And buy it. Then open your mind. And read it. Then open your heart. And do it". I think you should do that with this book, and maybe before that check the presentation of the author at google:

just to have a taste of the book.

- true art of presentation
Within half a day after receiving this book I included some of the principles it describes into my presentation. The results are truly remarkable, my thoughts come across much more powerful. Also people smiled after my presentation saying where did you learn to present like this, fun, entertaining and meaningful !
