Bla Bla Bla: Qué Hacer Cuando Las Palabras No Funcionan (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I read this book because I've always been fascinated by the power of combining words and pictures to convey information. This was absolutely a Good Read and a highly recommend the book to anyone in a job situation which requires processing and conveying large volumes of information in a succinct way. Data visualization is huge and we're moving back to a place where less is more and pictures are worth a thousand words. I'm now a new fan of Dan Roam. Electronic Copy provided by NetGalleyI thoroughly enjoyed Dan’s first book “On the back of the napkin” and loved the way he presented his ideas and his information. So I was excited to get a chance to read this new book of his that deals with speaking and presenting ideas better, and killing the blahs--complexity, boredom, and misunderstanding. Dan gives us his theory of “Vivid Thinking” which combines the right and left side of the brain so that we can think and learn more quickly. In short, he shows the reader how not to be boring and explain ideas clearly and engage people. Dan also practices this idea in the book as he walks us through his theory with a host of different characters, ranging from Einstein and Captain Sully to his old math teacher. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book and one that I would recommend to folks, no matter what their job maybe, so that they also might improve their presentation and speaking skills. I give the book 5 out of 5 stars.
