Why read it?
1 author picked The First Minute as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read Chris’ book in one sitting, folding corners and highlighting lines and paragraphs immediately after opening it.
It not only conveys “less is more,” but provides examples and—most importantly—tactics and tools for speaking more clearly and efficiently from the very first word. I particularly loved his tips on avoiding tangents and improving conversations and his focus on making complex ideas simpler and more understandable in workplace communications.
I also appreciate how the book itself is short, further proving the point. I know Chris and can vouch for his passion and skill for helping people succeed by communicating more effectively.
From Joel's list on improving your presentation prowess.
