Never judge a book by the sound. A Fascinating talk despite the poor audio quality.

Best-seller = Interesting book + Effective promotion. <br><br>To be a Best-seller, not only must you write an interesting book, but you must also know how to promote it well !

Now THIS is how you deliver a TED talk! On point, interesting, funny, relevant, succinct. Jonny is well prepared, and therefore (appears) very relaxed. Excellent delivery and pleasant speaking voice. Any author would be lucky to have this guy represent them. As others have pointed out -- Shame about the audio. But that's hardly his fault. Bravo, Jonny!
