Irishman Speaks - Conor Cunneen

OXYMORONICA: PARADOXICAL WIT AND WISDOM FROM HISTORY'S GREATEST WORDSMITHS

AUTHOR: Mardy Grothe 

Review written by Inspirational Business Keynote Speaker and Business Humorist Conor Cunneen. (Pardon the apparent hyperbole, but it helps with search engines to mention keynote business speaker or humorous business speaker regularly in web content -  that is if you are a keynote speaker!). If you are seeking an inspirational, motivational and humorous business speaker for your next event contact Chicago based Irishman and keynote speaker Conor Cunneen.   Phone Conor at 630 718 1643

One of the finest inspirational, motivational, keynotes speakers ever - Winston Churchill - wrote while in Bangalore 'A good knowledge of history is a quiver full of arrows in debate.' Churchill, a great thought-provoking, uplifting - sometimes even humorous - keynote speaker with a genuine gift of gab was absolutely right.

This book provides a number of arrows for the keynote speaker. Some books are just fun. You pick them up knowing it will put a smile on your face and you leave it down with that smile on your face. Oxymoronica is one of those books.

It is difficult to write a lengthy review about this book because it would basically entail repeating many of the wonderful quotes which the author has sourced (and he does source and credit them very well, something which many well known, inspirational, humorous, motivational keynote speakers do not do.

The oxymorons range through humor, the human condition, politics, advice and other concepts. I would encourage you to ignore the oxymoronic advice of George Bernard Shaw quoted in this book - "Never take anybody's advice," and read this book.

It is a genuine little gem.
