John Bowe on I Have Something to Say: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking in an Age of Disconnection

Public speaking is difficult because you’ve never been taught the proper techniques. Fascinated by the possibility that speech training could foster the kind of psychological well-being more commonly sought through psychiatric treatment, and intrigued by the notion that words can serve as medicine, Bowe set out to discover the origins of speech training—and to learn for himself how to speak better in public. What would it mean for Americans to learn once again the simple art of talking to one another? Bowe shows that learning to speak in public means more than giving a decent speech without nervousness. Learning to connect with others bestows upon us an enhanced sense of freedom, power, and belonging. The result: an easy, humorous read that explains the subject considered by the Greeks and Romans to be the cornerstone of education: the art of connecting with others. *** The Burleson Box is brought to you by Socius Marketing: The Socius team is your strategic partner to set both specific KPIs and patient growth objectives as well as identify the most effective mix of digital marketing services for your practice.
