This passionate expertise manifesto is intended to elevate the impact of advisors who sell insight as entrepreneurs. Three foundational chapters form the basis of the entire audiobook: Experts develop insight by isolating patterns in data; they convert those insights to wealth by crafting a unique positioning for which few available substitutes exist; and their confidence grows as the marketplace embraces their application of expertise. The next 15 chapters - building on that foundation - each answer a single question.

Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan isn’t one to avoid arguments. He relishes them as the lifeblood of democracy and the only surefire way to establish the truth. Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value—and can also simply be fun.

Publisher's Summary
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—think Strunk and White’s Elements of Style for the digital age.
In SMART BREVITY: The Power of Saying More with Less, Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz teach listeners 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Contenu du livre très simpliste
Lecture rapide (3h), mais le contenu est léger. Soyez concis, utiliser des mots simples, favoriser les bullet points.
Ne soyez pas un robot.
Voilà.
Je recommande si vous avez aucune experience en communication, mais sinon c’est la base,

Should've been more brief
Incidentally, this review would have been more brief, but Audible requires at least 15 words.

Whiny
The repetitive tired whiny complaints about Trump were very distracting. Could have been a much shorter book.

Finished the book, didn’t learn a thing.
This book is completely misleading, they don’t teach anything. They spend an entire book talking about why smart brevity is important and how they were successful at employing the tactic in their career. Waste of an opportunity.

Devolution
Word emphasis in the sentences was weird. This emphasizes losing touch with eloquence and higher education.

Useful concept but...
Most of us could use more brevity (oxymoron?)
Many of the techniques mentioned are quite useful; the constant promotion of Axios was irritating and excessive. However, as another reviewer mentioned, the target audience is clearly the Type A go-getter, not so much the average person who just wants to do a better job of communicating!

Infomercial teaches writing
1 big thing:
Journalists repackage how to communicate with impactful directness.
Why it matters:
it can help you write if you’re not already familiar with the style. The chapters and examples get you into the rhythms easily.👍
Yes, but:
All examples and case studies are about how their AI saved the day for their client company and sending you to their website. This makes the whole book feel like an infomercial. 😬
Bottom line:
It’s not terrible. Following the recommendations will work. If you have a minimum of 12k laying around, their miraculous AI will make you a copywriting god.🎉

Not recommended
When a topic was introduced it was not developed and reverted to referencing their own broadcast station. I felt like I was listening to the shopping network.
