Summary/Abstract: ”Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery” by Garr Reynolds (2020) provides a comprehensive framework for enhancing presentation design and delivery through principles rooted in simplicity, clarity, and visual storytelling. This book challenges traditional, text-heavy presentation norms by introducing a minimalist approach. This review explores how the principles of the books apply to the academic context, examining its relevance for lecturers, students, and researchers seeking to convey complex ideas effectively. In addition, it highlights key strategies, including the use of visual aids, storytelling techniques, and principles of design. It also discusses the potential challenges of adopting these methods in academia and offers a critical perspective on their implementation.
