The immersive multimedia version of my book Resonate allows readers to interact with the material I presented in my TEDx Talk. It includes in-depth speech analyses of Steve Jobs and Martin Luther King, Jr., plus other persuasive speakers of our time. There are great examples of so-called 'STAR moments' — 'Something They’ll Always Remember.' (Many of the greatest TED talks have a moment that you will just never forget.) There’s also a Director’s cut where you’ll see behind-the-scenes insights into how I discovered the persuasive story pattern in the talk — along with other personal insights into my book-writing journey.

Many people do brilliant thinking in PowerPoint, but project dense slides. Instead, presenters should use a 'slidedoc' for their dense data. A slidedoc is a document created using presentation software, where visuals and words unite to illustrate one clear point per page. They’re meant to be printed or distributed instead of presented. The result is a medium that can be read more quickly than a document. Use cinematic slides to present to your audience, and use slidedocs as pre-read or follow-up material.
