Presentation Zen 2nd revised and expanded edition (Paperback)

Customer Review

The first edition has received unanimous praise, it is with confidence that I bought this book.
Visually, nothing to say, it is a beautiful object, pleasant to read.

Side content, by cons, the author was inspired to apply its principles: namely to eliminate what is not helpful.
We would then have had in hand a book of 50 dense pages rather than 300 pages diluted and full of repetitions.
Moreover, what need to whack the reader with Japanese expressions throughout the book?

Overall, the fact that it is a translation does not feel. The sentences are fluid, precise vocabulary.
(I will pass on the phrase "conventional wisdom", we should probably pass a trainee).
However, numerous slides in English are presented without translation. It is the same with various titles of books cited.
Spelling is also good, with a significant missed page 117: 2 tuning faults that jumped out at me.

The chapter most useful for me was the number 6, dedicated to the composition of the slides (arrangement of elements).
I also found very illuminating visual before / after comparison between overloaded slides and clean slides.
But the general intention remains mostly conceptual, and takes in some of the principles that various blogs have correctly summarized.

At a time when all the time is running out, I would have appreciated a more concise book, going straight to the point if not concrete.
