The Excitement Principle - Why everything you have read about the fear of public speaking may have been upside down
Book Details
Description
Everything you have read about public speaking is wrong!
Don't try to relax - get excited!
As the author of books such as "Meditation and the Brain", Benjamin Kramer is expected to be chilled out and relaxed and in general, he is. Except, until recently, for one major problem - a long-time fear of public speaking!
The prospect of making a presentation to a group of people turned him to jelly and of his usual tips and tricks for relaxing never worked. It just seemed impossible to quell the anxiety once it had begun and consequently, Kramer avoided any circumstance where he would be expected to talk in front of large groups. This was a problem for someone who makes a living communicating ideas on brain health.
Until one fateful day when he stumbled upon an obscure research paper which instantly made perfect sense. Instead of trying (in vain) to relax, the secret to high-performance and low-anxiety public speaking is to get excited!
In this quick, easy-to-read book, Kramer -
- Gives you the history of his public speaking phobia (Which is technically known as Glossophobia)
- Explains the neurological and biological process of fear and anxiety including important factors such as - the amygdala, the locus ceruleus, epinephrine/adrenaline and how they are all connected
- Explains in simple terms how to implement the central concept of the book
- Lists a range of tips and tricks on how to become a master presenter and orator
Take a moment now to consider just how logical this idea is.
It doesn't require expensive courses or months of practice. Kramer went from a nervous wreck to a polished performer in his very first presentation after making this realisation.
You can too. No matter how bad you think your phobia of public speaking is.
You can do it.
