Book Review: Slide:ology

Posted byDaniel HoangPosted inThoughts

This is a relatively old book but I suspect it’ll be on my list of all time favorites. Nancy has taken all that’s been wrong with corporate presentations and summarized it into one short but very comprehensive 275 page book. Although I’ve been on a mission to read more digital books on my iPad, I gotta say that Slide:ology is best read with a conventional book. The illustration and graphics are just beautifully printed. The $23 price on Amazon is a steal, considering the quality of the physical book.

The Golden Rule: Never deliver a presentation you wouldn’t want to sit through.

That is the theme of the entire book. Every recommendation, technique, style, and trick is aimed at creating a presentation that we all want to sit through.

Here is a great trailer video to the book. Also check out Nancy’s blog at blog.duarte.com.
