We all want to give the best speech we can, and Peggy Noonan helps us do just that by demystifying a wide range of topics, including finding your own authentic voice; developing a text that interests you; acing the all-important first paragraph; using logic to move your audience; creating, developing, and reinventing the "core speech" for diverse audiences; strengthening your speech with a vital element: humor; winnowing your thoughts down to the essentials; handling professional jargon, cliche's, and the sound bite syndrome; respecting simplicity and clarity; presenting your speech in the best way; collecting intellectual income; breaking all the rules and still succeeding; and reading for inspiration - how to use the excellence of others.
