A must for everyone
This is the first time that im reading about Public Speaking and will say that this book, despite that is old, is fantastic. It breaks down Public speaking to specific items that anyone could practise and gives a lot of advice, tips on how to do it. If you are interested on the free audio book version, can be found here:https://librivox.org/the-art-of-publi...For sure, will be reading more about the subject and also hear this book again, especially the first 10 chapters.
I wish I could say that this was a great book. But it was sooooooo boring. The only reason I have to give it three stars is that it was genuinely a very educational book that I'm certain benefited me. Other than that, yeah . . . I wouldn't recommend this for anyone's fun reading. This is definitely for people who perform public speaking and no others.
Spiders, heights, public speaking. Everyone has their own phobiasSpeaking in public is a matter of practiceBelieve in the subject you’re presentingYou learn to swim by swimmingThe only way to become a skilled speaker is by giving speechesThere are three techniques to help you to do that1.

Dale Carnegie lays for the reader different strategies to improve and develop their oratory skills. I'm preparing for a speech in January, and I will definitely be taking some of his advice.
Worth reading at least twice.
Great book to read , it gives you many tips in order to improve yourself and explain your ideas with ease .
A book that I am reading referenced this one so many times that I thought I am missing big on something, so I purchased it. Well, definitely a must read for a starter, but I should have known that having been written in early 1900s, it wouldn't be much applicable to an academic woman of early 2000s :-)
A classic book from a recognized master on the topic. A good read and foundational material for anyone looking at public speaking as a career. I bought this book at special price from here: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Public-Spe...
"Unsuspected treasures lie in the smallest library." "To think, and to feel, constitute the two grand divisions of men of genius - the men of reasoning and the men of imagination." It's been a while since I got some time to read another Carnegie book, and as always, the book ended up becoming an excellent read. May be it's the complete mastery of the subject, or the unparalleled enthusiasm toward delivering a complete reference, or the natural talent, but whatever it is, reading a book by
Since I had been a memmber in an organisation which meant by making projects and in the end of each year there is a competition to choose the most effective project, I noticed how the presentation was a great part of this process it is every team responsibility to show how great they achieved, I was in love with this moment when the oraganizers say "Now, you can begin your presentation" Because of that I tried a lot to learn about public speaking techniques, through reading, MOOCs, and practical...
Classic and DatedThis is a classic book, filled with oratory from 100 years ago. The advice is timeless but the book isn’t. There are lots of choices out there, and this isn’t your best choice. Want to read some lost great speeches? You got them here. Want to speak better? Look elsewhere.
Public speaking is all about building self-confidence. If you are confident enough to face any situation life throws at you seldom you will fell the hesitation.

Whether it's about speaking in a youth speech competition or in a business suit he has shown many fundamentals steps to build self-confidence. It is a must-h...
As other Dale Carnegie' books, this book lays out important principles for effective public speaking. I have been trying to apply his suggestions in my talks and I find them very helpful.A few notes:- Be genuine interested in the audience: when preparing and giving a talk, I constantly remind myself to appreciate the audience who spend their time (and perhaps money) to listen to me. If the talk is 20 minutes and there are 30 of them, that's already 10 hours so I am responsible for not wasting su...
Most everything in this book is a review of what you learn in college speech class- though these methods are common sense to some of us, this would be a good book for someone who really just needs LOTS of practice. MANY speeches are offered in this book with tips on how to best recite them, but it's really more of a workbook than an informative read. I lost interest many times b/c it was just review information and long winded speeches and poetry from other authors given as examples for the read...
This book will teach you everything you need to know about public speaking but also about influencing and persuading people in everyday life.Everyone can do with what this book teaches because sooner or later we all need to learn the art of persuasion. And this book teaches you how.
Thanks Blinkist!There’s only one way to become an effective public speaker: practice, practice, practice. That said, there are techniques that’ll help you succeed. For starters, avoid monotony by effectively using emphasis, let your gestures emanate from sincere feeling, turn your audience into a crowd and improve your voice by attending to your cardiovascular health. Finally, test your arguments and the arguments of your opponents, and use imagery both to prepare for and to construct your speec...
I listened to this book through an audio book version. It's filled with many quotes and speeches that can last as long as fifteen minutes or more. This can be both distracting and rather boring causing you to miss key information on the art of public speaking. Although, some of these quotes and speeches do help in identifying important information in public speaking. After you get over these flaws, the book is filled with many devices that will help you stand up in front of many and speak confid...
I gave this book 3 stars because it was written so long ago the majority of the exercises are no longer relevant to the speaker. A reader could easily read a summarized version of the principles outlined, which are still sound and solid techniques and considerations of the public speaker. Additionally I am put-off by religious reference in books, Carnegie references preachers & Christian bible too many times for my preference.
