Brevity is confidence. Length is fear. This is the guiding principle of Smart Brevity, a communication formula built by Axios journalists to prioritize essential news and information, explain its impact and deliver it in a concise and visual format. Now, the co-founders of Axios have created an essential guide for communicating effectively and efficiently using Smart Brevity.
In SMART BREVITY: The Power of Saying More with Less, Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz show you how to say more with less in virtually any format. They also share communications lessons learned from their decades of experience in media, business and communications.
"If getting your message across matters to you, this is the way to do it." - Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive

Basically their system is to use subheading and break up info. This works much better visually than on audio. They're also big fans of emojis to do the heavy lifting. so if you write longwinded emails with no breaks or headers, you'll likely find much here of use. For the rest of us...
it also seemed very repetitive for a book on brevity. So while short, could have been so much shorter.
Maybe not suited to audio
