Should be a good book, although the bullet-point thing is hugely noticeable and I doubt that any apple fanboy (those who wait for the macrumors MWSF no-spoiler link, to be clear) doesn’t know it. It’s like telling never to put a whole sentence on the slide, we all know this.
It should help a lot, though, the people who don’t.

BUT…. “it doesn’t matter if you’re using PowerPoint or Apple Keynote” ?!

@Andy, why do you think this site has gained such popularity. Not only is the Doc a great speaker (well, writer technically), but he has learned to follow the ultimate one more thing, MCOTM.

If only Jobs would fill his last slides with some Mac chicks, then Apple could finally overtake the other 80-some% of the computer industry.

Steve Jobs still hasn’t unleashed the ULTIMATE PRESENTATION TECHNIQUE. The wrestling world as ben using Scantily Clad Pretty Women With Huge Breasts for years. I imagine Jobs has this in his “Secret Technique” too but has been holding this back as the Ultimate One More Thing. I’ll bet Carmine Gallo never conceptualized the awesome power of the Supreme Reality Distortion Field – SEX!

I actually got a copy of this book for Christmas. I haven’t read it yet but I’ve flipped through it and it seems like a good read. Of course it’s not gonna turn you into the next Steve Jobs but it seems like a good book on how to give presentations.

I’ve already purchased and read this book. It’s quite good. My presentations have improved tremendously. I honestly think that anyone who makes presentations on a regular basis could benefit from reading this work.

Well… I actually think that this book might be quite good. I mean take the video as an example. It’s almost 6mins long and puts HIM to the test. Does he deliver ? Imo sure he does. I was really hooked for these 6mins and thought it was a good presentation. One I could easily follow. One that sticks in your mind. And one you can remember certain pieces of information after having watched it. It’s not see (hear) and forget.

So… I dunno… while my presentations are actually usually quite good (I take a LOT of time for prepping it… and refine it until it is perfect) I still believe I can benefit from this book…
