Everyone has fear of public speaking. This book highlights the power of communication through public speaking and the ability to change opinions of an audience by framing an idea in a specific way.

TED TALKS, TEDx are very popular talks across the world. ‘TED: Ideas worth spreading’ began as conference where technology, entertainment, design conversed and today they converge all aspects of human life. TED’s mission is to nurture the spread of powerful ideas. TED TED TALKS have proved that, a talk can electrify and transform an audience’s view.
