Story
We strive for success, but we are rarely happy. The more we try to win - putting on a brave face for work or family - the more we risk losing ourselves. And even reaching our goals can feel strangely hollow. The culprit? Fear. It makes us anxious, or shameful, or turns us into perfectionists. We pretend to be someone else while aiming for a status that’s never truly satisfying. There is another way. A way to find our true voice, to win on our own terms.

Did you know that even one rude comment in a life-and-death situation can decrease a surgeon’s performance by as much as 50 percent? That we say we don’t want rude politicians, but we vote for them anyway? Or that rude language can sway a jury in a criminal case? Best-selling writer and broadcaster Danny Wallace (Yes Man, Awkward Situations for Men) is on a mission to understand where we have gone wrong.

What can death teach us about life? Conducting many thousands of post-mortems has given Dr Richard Shepherd the opportunity to examine death at every stage of life. Each autopsy is its own unique investigation, providing evidence of how, through life, the risks to us ebb and flow. From old to young, from murder to misadventure and from illness to accidental death, each body has taught him something: about human development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, about justice and even about himself.

They're a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.

How many self-help books are written by authors whose biggest success is selling self-help books? Three Simple Steps is different. Despite stock market crashes, dot-com busts, and the specter of recession, the author started a virtual company from home, using a few thousand dollars of his savings. A few years later, without ever hiring an employee or leaving his home office, he sold it for more than $100 million. As the economy slipped into another free fall, he did this again with a company in a different field. He accomplished this through no particular genius.

Does the mere thought of speaking in front of an audience give you goosebumps, butterflies, and heart palpitations? If you want to overcome all of these, then you need this book in your life. For a lot of people, public speaking is a terrifying thing. Preparing to speak is the easy part. You either familiarize yourself with the topic, create cue cards to help you remember the things you need to talk about, or in some cases, memorize your speech. But when it's time to step up onto the stage and face the crowd, that's when the real challenge begins.

The perfect book on how to let go and speak well
This isn't a book on prosody (i.e. intonation and articulation), or a book on linguistics. It's not necessarily aimed at actors and singers, although it can help those, too.
This books covers a gap that is seldom talked about: how to speak clearly and confidently when someone's waiting for your answer, and all you can feel is that dreadful anxiety riddle with a sense of inadequacy and all you can hear in your head is those past experiences where you slurred, mumbled, or even shied away from speaking. If you've ever opened your mouth and felt you were inside your head, having the other person feel like they're too close whilst you're voice seems unable to bridge the 1 feet gap between the both of you, or if you felt like you were having a panic attack whilst chatting with someone else, this is the book you wanna read.
I read English at uni well over a decade ago. Since then, I've kept close to everything phonetics/phonology-related. I've read every book I could. Occasionally I'll try and read books on how to be a confident speaker. Some books will focus on how to organise your presentation, but I never wanted to stand in front of an audience, I just wanted to be confident and clear on the phone or when chatting with my barbers! Some other books will focus on how to build relationships, but those don't cut it, either. Some will help you articulate better. You'd think these would help the most, but they're usually aimed at foreigners so you don't really learn much from them. Certainly nothing if you've studied linguistics for years. And what is even the point of speaking clearly in your room when you're by yourself if all of that goes out of the window the second your anxiety kicks in as someone stares at you waiting for an answer.
This is why Caroline's book is special. Although it's not divided as such, the book is half self-help, half training. You can tell it's not been written by an actor or a speech therapist that has never experienced your issues, but by someone that's been crippled by anxiety and made it out the other way. She has managed to illustrate the worst of your days, whilst showing you how it is to be confident. No book has ever resonated so much with me. She's described perfectly what it is to be anxious, to feel like you're about to pass out as you mumble, slur, rush, and hide behind your words - and she's done it just as well as she's described what it's like to be confident, clear, and centred. She knows what she's talking about and she knows that you're probably not wanting to prepare for an interview or a presentation, but to be able to be the best you (and keep it that way) what buying a ticket at the cinema, or introducing yourself to someone, or having to call someone on the phone.
Like I said, she knows her shit. I knew it the second she mention something not that well known in linguistics. It's about, Voice Confrontation. Voice Confrontation is when you cringe at even the thought of listening to your own voice being played back at you. Most experts only mention one reason as to why this happens: your voice sounds deeper on the inside as the bones give it more bass. So listening to it being played back makes you think your voice is high pitched. But that's half the story, if that. The real reason you cringe is because you can hear your anxiety, fear, insecurities, and all other feelings you had when you were being recorded. Most people don't know this, she does. She truly knows what she's talking about.
To sum up, if you get this book, you're gonna learn how to let go, put yourself out there, how to be present, how you need not to hear your voice but feel it, how to fill the room with your voice, and most importantly, how to keep it that way.
You might like the book, or you might not like it. But it's a great book. And it will truly help you, not just if you need to speak in front of an audience, or more clearly, but precisely when you get in your own head and you feel everything's against you. By the way, nothing really is against you. You've got this.

Quite good but…
This is quite good however I think it would be better to buy a hard copy instead so you can refer to exercises. The audiobook refers you to exercises on her website which don’t seem to be there anymore. Really this is an Audible that could have done with an accompanying pdf.

The secret weapon for confident speaking
Speaking with confidence in any situation is a skill few of us consider ourselves masters at (I definitely don't). Whatever your level, you will find really useful guidance and lots of practical advice to elevate you. With Caroline's narration, you feel like you have a "voice wingman" beside you, taking you gently through what can be quite a scary, but very valuable process!
