My friend Russell published a book, and I got my copy in the mail today!
The title is great: Everything I Know about Life I Learned from PowerPoint.
It’s an ode to that piece of software “we hate to love”.
It starts with how PowerPoint saved Russell’s life. Russell is shy, but PowerPoint enabled him to enjoy being on stage and presenting. This helped him “defeat shyness” and have a successful career in advertising working for the likes of Nike, Honda, Microsoft, and Apple.
He then turns to how PowerPoint is used, powerfully I might add, in almost every corner of the globe. And finally, it ends with “reassurance” on how PowerPoint is actually easy, and shares some advice on how to use it well.
Russell has a way with words, both written and spoken. He never uses jargon, and that’s refreshing. It was a privilege to learn from him when I was working at Bulb, and I’m really looking forward to chuckling away as I digest this book!
Congrats, Russell!
