The Art of Explanation
Few people have mastered the art of explaining better than the BBC’s Ros Atkins. Thankfully, he is now sharing what he knows in a book. And to be clear, this is a book for everyone. Atkins defines explanation in very broad terms: Whenever you try to get a message across, you are explaining. Often, we don’t realise we are, and that’s part of the problem. Whether you’re interviewing for a job, giving a presentation, talking to a friend, or simply writing an email. One of the best books I’ve read in recent years.
