If your book was a TED talk... · Write Your Book 📚

If your book was a TED talk...

I was inspired by

this week and her big share about her talk, and I wondered if I would be ready to talk to a general audience about my book topic.

It got me thinking... what if I am invited to give a 10-20 minute ted-type talk about my book. What will I talk about? Then today I was in a workshop for academics and the speaker mentioned the importance of rest (mentioned it for 2 min). Instantly I thought... if

@Sierra Melcher

gave a ted talk today, REST is definitely an entire topic she owns.

So I turn this into a prompt for us... if you are invited to give a ted-like talk TOMORROW about your book/issue you're thinking about - what will you talk about for 10-20 minutes with ease and clarity?

Right now, since I am finishing my dissertation, I realized I can easily talk about book research or how wall street owns our cities and why this matters.
