Dale Carnegie, author of the legendary How to Win Friends and Influence People , began his career as the premier "life coach" of the twentieth century by teaching the art of public speaking. Public speaking, as Carnegie saw it, is a vital skill that can be attained through basic and repeated steps. His classic volume on the subject appeared in 1926 and was revised twice-in shortened versions-in 1956 and 1962. This 2006 revision-edited by a longtime consultant to Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., and the editor in charge of updating How to Win Friends and Influence People -is the definitive one for our era. While up-to-date in its language and points of reference, Public Speaking for Success preserves the full range of ideas and methods that appeared in the original: including Carnegie's complete speech and diction exercises, which follow each chapter, as the author originally designated them. This edition restores Carnegie's original appendix of the three complete self-help classics: Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. Carnegie included these essays in his original edition because, although they do not directly relate to public speaking, he felt they would be of great value to the readers. Here is the definitive update of the best-loved public-speaking book of all time. Review: Worked for me - I was looking for practical suggestions on things I could do to improve my presentation skills. I am not a complete beginner, so I didn't want something too basic. I am not a great speaker, so I didn't want something too far above me either. Fortunately, I think this book offers information that any speaker can use. It is succinct and doesn't repeat, so despite its small size, it has a lot of information in it. I started doing some of the exercises right away and immediately began improving both my confidence and skill. It's a keeper! Review: Common sense explained - Dale Carnegie hit another homerun with this one. Might not be a complete paradigm shift for many, however, it's definitely a well articulated piece of common sense. It reiterates the fundamentals such as practice and preparation.

Worked for me
I was looking for practical suggestions on things I could do to improve my presentation skills. I am not a complete beginner, so I didn't want something too basic. I am not a great speaker, so I didn't want something too far above me either. Fortunately, I think this book offers information that any speaker can use. It is succinct and doesn't repeat, so despite its small size, it has a lot of information in it. I started doing some of the exercises right away and immediately began improving both my confidence and skill. It's a keeper!

Common sense explained
Dale Carnegie hit another homerun with this one. Might not be a complete paradigm shift for many, however, it's definitely a well articulated piece of common sense. It reiterates the fundamentals such as practice and preparation.

Excellent, but please review last part of kindle edition
Excellent book! I would have one observation regarding the kindle format. The last chapter containing inspirational stories has few issues. I found 3 paragraphs which interrupt suddenly and start with other ideas, other flow of thought and it is very frustrating...please check and do something on these lines...It is a pitty to have such minuses with such a great book!

The book arrived swiftly and I'm excited to read it. The only downfall is the quality of the book. It looks like it was a rushed job with the pages not fitting properly. The first few pages look like they were just torn into place. Really weird - I've never purchased a new book of this quality before. I will keep it because I'm excited to dive into the book.

Les pages ne sont pas dans lโordre, compliquรฉ de lire correctement !
Impression originale : les pages ne sont pas dans lโordre, rendant la lecture compliquรฉe. Cโest un gigantesque labyrinthe oรน on doit chercher la prochaine pageโฆ insupportable. Par contre le contenu mโa lโair trรจs bon. Bien que je ne sois quโร la page 115, les conseils sont prรฉcieux donc je recommande la lecture (mais pas le vendeur)
