Not a bad read overall; it's quick and easy to get through, yet it doesn't really provide any meaningful insight into how to "Talk Like TED." The essence of Gallo's few instructions comments you can find from any decent book on public speaking: be authentic; gestures are important; be funny; make an impact; visuals are powerful; have passion. I think that covers it all for this books, as far as public speaking is concerned.
If you're interested in the context around some of the more popular TED talks, then this book really shines. It is well written; it's just that the content and title are incongruent.
