“Your heart is pounding, your breath is too short to catch, your mouth is full of cotton, your hands are so wet the papers you’re clutching are curling, the voices around you are a numbing
roar . . . .” Yep, that’s me. I hate speaking publicly. I hate hating it. Although I haven’t yet had—phew!—the occasion to test its merits, the advice in this little book seems sound (and reassuring). It helps you identify what you’re afraid of, analyze those fears and defuse them with specifics—checklists, exercises, and suggestions. Maybe there’s hope.
