Download or read book The Pitching Bible written by Paul Boross and published by CGW Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every product started as an idea, a thought in someone's mind. Thousands or even millions of people had the same idea, and one of those ideas became a reality. Not because it was the best idea, but because its creator had the courage and confidence to share it. It wasn't necessarily the best idea. It was the best pitched. This book is called The Pitching Bible because it contains everything you need to know to develop your skills as an engaging and compelling presenter. It won't teach you how to design computer slides because they are not the pitch. You are the message. You are the product. You are the pitch. By reading, and taking to heart, these principles, you will be better at what you do. If you read this book, think, "that doesn't apply to me", or, "I've already tried that" and do nothing, then it won't work. These seven secrets, born out of the lectures that I have delivered all over the world, are the distillation of my years of real life, front line experience. I've discovered the hard way what works, and after spending many years training and coaching people in developing the perfect pitch, it's time for me to share these secrets with you. This book will not make your ideas any better. It probably won't make you have your ideas any sooner, although with more confidence, you might well find yourself pitching your ideas much sooner than you would have done. This book will definitely help you to get your ideas across more effectively, and because of that, this book contains the Seven Secrets to your competitive advantage.

Book excerpt: Let the one and only Dr. Joe battle pseudoscience and cast a life preserver out to all those drowning in a sea of misinformation “Ultimately, the author successfully demonstrates how claims should be queried and analyzed before they are accepted.” — Library Journal We are in a crisis. A tsunami of misinformation and disinformation is threatening to engulf evidence-based science. While quackery — loosely defined as the spread of false “knowledge,” often accompanied by various versions of “snake oil” — is not a novel phenomenon, it has never posed as great a threat to public health as today. COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented flurry of destructive information that has fueled vaccine hesitancy and has steered people toward unproven therapies. Conspiracy theorists have served up a distasteful menu of twisted facts that create distrust in science. In Quack Quack, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, who has been battling flimflam for decades, focuses on the deluge of anecdotes, cherry-picked data, pseudoscientific nonsense, and seductive baseless health claims that undermine efforts to educate the public about evidence-based science. The wide scope of the topics drawn from past and present aims to cast a life preserver to people drowning in a sea of misinformation.2022
