Every year, Mormons hold something called "Campus Education Week," it basically is a week on BYU-Provo Campus where any Mormon who has an expertise in something, or especially genial insights to share, can give a 4-day, 50-minute class about it. I attend classes nonstop from 8:30am until the last class ends at 9:25pm. Each year I walk away with at least a few life-changing insights. Here is a condensed (by about half) version of my notes. For maximum clarity, you'll have to ask me about something in person. I also plan to post a Google Hangout of me going over them which I hope to put up shortly. Enjoy!

This book was SO insightful. I learned so much about communication. My favorite part was where he would analyze classic speeches from history and why they were effective. Highly recommended.
