I have to do presentations to an NGO for many years. The book has certainly changed the way I am doing presentations now. Because I have been a university teacher for many years, my presentations at that NGO tended to be very academic, full of points and arguments as well, when the target audience were totally different. At the NGO meetings, the audience were successful businessmen and professionals with an average age of 50+. Like most audience of that nature, they tended to think of all presentations as so much blah blah blah and the minds of virtually half of them would drift off within 5 minutes, a few might even be in slumberland. This book changed my way of presentations.The first time I tried it, with my own drawings, and they were pretty ugly drawings at that, my presentation captured their attention. For the first time, I felt they were totally engaged in my talk.The concept as preached by the book, that one must be able to draw the ideas one is presenting is absolutely correct. By trying to draw a picture of every idea that one is trying to present, it focusses one's mind and leaves no room for fuzziness in one's mind. I think the effect of that must have been felt by the audience as well - there is no fuzziness or ambiguity that is being conveyed to the audience.I cannot fail to recommend this book to anyone who has to make presentations regularly. Read it. Follow its advice. You cannot go wrong.Incidentally, for those of you who own smart phones, an excellent way of practicing your skill at putting down concepts as drawings is to play the game DrawSome (Disclaimer: I do not know the developer of that App, and I have no financial interest in that App.) The App is free and it really sharpens your skill at drawing concepts, making you even more ready to follow the instructions of the book Blah Blah Blah.This book is really for anyone who has to make presentations.   Read Less
