Peachpit today announced the publication of Presentation
Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (ISBN

That Matter series that will change the way readers think about

With a foreword by Guy Kawasaki,
Presentation Zen:
Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery challenges
conventional wisdom and encourages readers to think differently and more
creatively about the preparation, design, and delivery of their
presentations. Author Garr
Reynolds, creator of the popular web site www.presentationzen.com,
shares lessons and perspectives that draw upon practical advice from the
fields of communication and business, combined with the principles of
Zen simplicity.
“Garr is the beacon of hope for frustrated
audiences everywhere,” said Nancy Duarte, CEO
of Duarte Design, creator of
slides for Al Gore's An
Inconvenient Truth presentation. “His
design philosophy and fundamental principles bring life to messages and
can invigorate careers. His principles of simplicity are as much a
journey of the soul as they are restraint of the mouse.”

Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery is now
available at Amazon,
Borders,

& Noble, and independent retailers nationwide. For more
