@XDFIX

You can't be serious.... Read Books

The majority dont read more than two lines of a thread and assimilate it....Fast food syndrome.

And you want said to read books...🤔

@sgtdjones

You need to read “How to engage an audience”

😀

X, nice list. What’s the goal? 25 by the end of the year? Well done if more than 12.

@XDFIX

I have read quite a few books from the list.

There are a few more that are not on the list that you may consider reading:

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

The Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Salinger

Anna Karenina -Leo Tolstoy

Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky

War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy 

@Halliwell

You need to read “How to engage an audience”

You Brits lost Rishi, Now Suella and your PM needs "balls" a wimp....All lack of knowing the engagement principle.Carney should have stayed across the pond.

I have no problem with audiences, even to over 15,000 in Gothenburg , Sweden. Over 1,000 at the  Beijing University of Chemical Technology,Chaoyang, China..et al.....presented papers on Chemical Engineering Modular designs. The above researchers do not have "Fast food syndrome indications".😎
