Book Review: Presentation Masala by Vivek Singh

 

Cropped Book Cover. Source: Amazon.in

Think of this book as what Dale Carnegie’s books are for Public Speaking. Loaded with examples, and yet extremely simple and crisp is why I loved reading this book.

The author delivers exactly on the expectations set out by the title. None of the chapters are about content. The entire book is about context, packaging and delivery.

A must-read for professors as well as professionals, and more so, for those who focus exclusively on content when preparing for their presentations.

I got the Kindle version for free due to a LinkedIn promotion, but it’s worth paying for, too. And I don’t know Vivek, so this isn’t the obligatory positive review. The book is genuinely good!

Book Review: The Joy of Game Theory by Presh Talwalkar

If Game Theory sounds intimidating and complex, start here to see how it is simply all around us, and while you're at it, learn some tricks too.

While this book is a "collection" of articles, it is written in a very delightfully interesting way and makes for a fun reading. Makes me want to read about Game Theory, so yes, serves its purpose too.

Book Reviews: Leonardo da Vinci and Mao Zedong

I find history fascinating!
Especially how it shows over and over that success and failure are usually a result of both circumstances and choices.

These 2 books are what I read, but the Hourly History collection is much bigger.

Very crisp and informative; it took about 60-80 minutes to read each. A good first book about the topics, and not detailed enough to form your opinion about them.
