Beyond Bullet Points, 3rd Edition

Introduction

I ORIGINALLY WROTE Beyond Bullet Points in 2005 to offer a new way for people to create Microsoft PowerPoint presentations more effectively. I never imagined that shortly after the book’s publication, the impact of the Beyond Bullet Points (BBP) approach would make headlines in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. Since then, interest in BBP has elevated the first edition of this book to bestseller status, at one point reaching the #4 sales rank out of all books at Amazon.com. It turns out that BBP is striking a chord with people who have a simple desire—to move beyond the bullet points that keep both presenters and audiences trapped, frustrated, and alienated from one another.
