Public speaking is one of the most common fears. Few people look forward to talking in front of others and even fewer do it as effectively as they could. A career in psychology and its related fields involves extensive public speaking, so you will need to learn to do it well. With time and practice, you too can become a confident and effective presenter. Public Speaking for Psychologists is a practical and lighthearted guide to planning, designing, and delivering a presentation. The first half of the book covers the nuts-and-bolts of public speaking: preparing a talk, submitting an abstract, developing your slides, managing anxiety, handling questions, and preventing public-speaking disasters. The second half applies these tips to common presentations, such as research talks, poster presentations, job talks, and talks to lay audiences. Throughout the book, the authors both experienced presenters offer realistic advice, useful tips, and humorous stories of embarrassing mistakes they ll never make again.

This review is from: Public Speaking for Psychologists: A Lighthearted Guide to Research Presentation, Jobs Talks, and Other Opportunities to Embarrass Yourself (Paperback)

"Public Speaking for Psychologists: A Lighthearted Guide to Research Presentations, Job Talks, and Other Opportunities to embarrass Yourself" looks into what many psychologists may struggle to do despite having a good idea how the human mind works - speaking in front of a crowd of them. David Feldman and Paul Silvia give plenty of tips to do that report or presentation with flying colors.

This review is from: Public Speaking for Psychologists: A Lighthearted Guide to Research Presentation, Jobs Talks, and Other Opportunities to Embarrass Yourself (Paperback)
This is a funny and easy book to read but very informative at the same time. My professor was actually Paul Silvia and he's a really cool guy; he's got a sarcastic sense of humor and really down to earth. This is a must-read if you're a PSYCH major because you'll be giving a lot of presentations in your career!

This review is from: Public Speaking for Psychologists: A Lighthearted Guide to Research Presentation, Jobs Talks, and Other Opportunities to Embarrass Yourself (Paperback)
This book was entertaining to read and didn't really feel like work. It offered helpful suggestions and I recommend it to anyone thinking about giving a presentation (particularly psych types). The best praise I can give it was after reading it I went ahead and bought another one of the author's books and now I like that one too: How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing
