A few weeks ago, we examined 27 Hot Summer Reads — popular books being read by the Six Minutes community.
On my recent vacation, I took a copy of Boring to Bravo. It’s a perfect summer read. Not only is it organized into easily digestible chunks (read a section or two while sipping lemonade on the deck), it is also packed with techniques which will energize your presentations.
