Being on a TEDx stage means that you have something meaningful to say. It should mean that you’re one of the leading people in your field and you have an authoritative voice on certain topics.
This is why they’ve been chosen to do TEDx talks.
So, it’s no surprise that many of our speakers are also authors! Some of them, bestselling authors with multiple books!
We love to continue supporting our speakers, so here’s a list of books written by our speakers that you can check out!
