Congratulations to Peter Guber, the former chairman of Sony Pictures and current CEO of Mandalay Entertainment Group for the success of his latest effort as the author of Tell to Win: Connect, Persuade, and Triumph with the Hidden Power of Story. In its first week on the market, the book jumped to first place on the Wall Street Journal’s Hardcover Nonfiction list.

Mr. Guber joins the lofty company of the perennially bestselling Garr Reynolds whose Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery has been at the top of its category on Amazon since its launch in 2008, and was recently joined at the top by his latest, The Naked Presenter: Delivering Powerful Presentations With or Without Slides (Voices That Matter). 
    
I’m honored—and grateful—to say that Mr. Guber mentioned my work in Tell to Win; as has Mr. Reynolds in both of his books. I’m further honored to say that each of these writers has also provided an endorsement for my forthcoming book, Presentations in Action: 80 Unforgettable Presentation Lessons from the Masters, coming in June.
