Testimonials
“From the journalist whose trademark is concision and clarity comes a manual on how the rest of us can achieve just that. The Art of Explanation is part-memoir, part self-help, and thoroughly informative and enjoyable.”
— Reeta Chakrabarti
“What a gift! One of the UK’s great communicators shares his wisdom so we can all explain better. It’s an engaging, entertaining and (above all) useful book showing how to unpack, organise, compose and deliver our ideas better. To communicate clearly we must think clearly. This book shows how to do both.”
— Professor Todd Rogers, Harvard University
“A brilliant guide to communication and explanation. This book will make your arguments stand out in the tsunami of information in our world. It’s for all those who want their audiences to listen and understand when they write an essay, a presentation or even send a simple email.”
— Jeremy Bowen, BBC News
“To watch an Atkins report is akin to observing a watchmaker assemble the inner workings of a timepiece – there’s precision, deftness and a calming expertise.”
— The Times
“The shining light that guides us to understanding what on earth is going on in our complicated world! Ros Atkins has that rare quality of appealing to all generations – even teens who don’t watch TV News find his explainers on their phones and follow his guidance to the thorny topics of the day. Now they can learn to do that for themselves. The book every parent wants to slide in their teens’ direction to equip them for real life.”
— Sarah Brown, founder and president of Theirworld charity
