JP Flintoff has just written a handy and witty guide to that most dreaded of art forms, public speaking. He introduces it here.

At some point in our lives we all find ourselves forced to make a speech. And we worry: Will my jokes fall flat? What if I freeze? Is it okay to read notes? What if people walk out?

This book won't magically transform you into a fast-talking corporate hotshot. But it will show you how to think about public speaking in a new way, and with a spot of luck, you will achieve adequacy. Or better!
