Five Stars by Carmine Gallo



I had Carmine Gallo on my writer's radar. As soonas this book 'Five stars' came along, I was happy to know 'The communication Secrets to get from Good to great'. I am a Toastmasters, hence my obvious interest in improving communication skills.
The author shares the formula of successful Hollywood movies and how the geniuses like steve Jobs, Da Vinci and Picasso have unlocked their best ideas. Communication skills is athe most valuable skill as perceived by the Master of Money, Warren Buffet. 
How great speeches by forefathers of the nation have been in simple words using less than high school grade level words. Hemingaway app.

The power of stories, Aristotle's persuation through ethos, pathos and logos, 
The analogy used by LinkedIn, the logline of Google, Indra Nooyi's Follow your Dream,
Beat the Greet, Dream Big

How 12 year old Alexa Cousin got her pet with Aristotl'e persuasion formula.

Using the knowledge learned in the book, on the book:
Setting - With AI and increasing computing abilities, human abilities like communication relegated to soft skills until now are very essential going forward. many professions now depend on persuasion. Using the techniques of many geniuses, astrophysicits, orators and creative artists we can crack the communication code.
Did the author sell his book with personal stories? There wasa reference to his books Talk like Ted and The Storyteller's Secret.
