Product Details

About the Book

The Art of Explanation is a practical, insight-packed guide to communicating clearly and persuasively from Ros Atkins, the BBC presenter and journalist behind the viral "Ros Atkins on..." explainer videos. Drawing on years of experience working in high-pressure newsrooms, Atkins shares the process he uses to break down complicated stories into explanations that are clear, engaging, and easy to follow — and shows readers how to apply the same approach to their own work, studies, and everyday conversations.

At the heart of the book are ten elements of a good explanation and seven practical steps for putting them into action, covering everything from cutting out unnecessary detail to holding an audience's attention and building a persuasive, well-structured argument. Whether the goal is nailing a job interview, writing a clearer email, giving a presentation, or simply explaining something complex to a friend, Atkins offers concrete, real-world techniques rather than abstract theory. Filled with anecdotes and examples drawn from his career in journalism, the book is designed to be immediately useful for anyone who wants to be understood more easily and taken more seriously — at work, in school, or at home.
