My book review of 'The Art of Explanation' by Ros Atkins
In these days when the volume of information available to us is rather overwhelming and the polarity of views expressed sometimes disturbing, it's good to have this guide to communication available from the BBC's creator of the viral 'Ros Atkins on...' explainer videos.
Whether at work or home, we can all benefit from being able to articulate ourselves clearly.
Using practical examples, Ros shares what he has learned from working in high-pressure newsrooms, refining the most complicated situations or issues into soundbites. Here he identifies the ten elements of a good explanation and the seven steps we can take to express ourselves with clarity and impact.
Whether you're having to give a presentation, write an essay or report, prepare for an interview or even just want to express yourself more clearly when debating with friends or family, this book has everything you need!
