This book completely changed how I give presentations.

You can find it on the internet at various price points.

I even had a chance to give a technical presentation in front of the author and he said it was excellent, so apparently I internalized it’s lessons.

I am a bit torn apart reading into it and watching a presentation by him. I think it might work well in some cultures and with some speakers. Being at a university seeing a lot of technical presentation by students I think he is quite heavy on presentations, which I typically always suggest to use really carefully my students and inexperienced speakers.

just "torn" not "torn apart" -- which is quite a violent thing!

"torn" in this context means to be not decided between a couple of opinions or decisions.
