I read this book when I was 16 years old. That was in 1974! My father made me take the Dale Carnegie course then and I have to say I have been a public speaker my whole life. I learned a-lot from this book and others by him. A must read!
Great book. Loved this and learnt to many things. 😁

I bought this book one week before I was scheduled for a public speaking engagement, to get myself added confidence and some fresh ideas on effective speaking. It worked!! It is full of good, solid concepts to help anyone become a confident and entertaining speaker.
Made it 1/3 of the way. Stopped reading because I presented my speech so I wasn’t applying the information anymore.
the cliff notes:have passion and enthusiasm for your topicbe knowledgeable practice at every opportunity
I want to highlight these two stories that captured my interest the most. Which first is:1) How lincoln always keep books with him wherever he go. It's just such a good example that proved to us, books can improve a lot of ourselves, only if we read, focus and do it.2) "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm". Which this one story William Lyon Phelps was probably the most beloved and the most popular professor ever to teach at Yale University. He said "teaching is more that an art or...
This book was absolutely incredible as I learned so much about how to give an effective speech from beginning to end. While I learned so much about these concepts from my time at Toastmasters, the book goes incredibly in depth discussing things from speech format to things you should be conscious of from a personal level as well.Couple of key points are that for the introduction, you want to start out with some type of question, fact, story, or anything else that will really appeal directly to t...
With Dale Carngie books you have read them again to understand what he is saying. He gives too many examples plus too many names as well they are key values in his book that might be useful in the present and future.
a LOT of testimonials
It take me long time to finish it , it is very useful book.
I won a Scholarship the Dale Carnegie Leadership workshop series and so will be reading three of his books. I'm very excited about the experience. Public Speaking has always been one of my strong suits, but I'd have to be a fool to not take this opportunity to dust off and polish my existing skill set.
My third book from the great Dale Carnegie and this was as good as the other two. I could really say now that Carnegie is one of my favorite authors on Business and Life lessons. Always with clear examples and resourceful guidelines for everyday life events.Final Rating: 4.4
We can call this book the world of public speaking...
The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking by Vanga SrikanthThe Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking Book ReviewThis book has 14 chapters of examples and insight into public speeching. The author, who taught public speaking at seminars for 40 years, has learned alot and communicates his ideals well in written form. I really envy those who had a chance to listen to his public speeches. That is the weakest part of this book, which the author admits. It doesn't matter how much you read about
One thing that I learned after reading this book was that in order to speak effectively in the public, it takes certain preparation and adherence to certain principles in order to achieve that end. This book will teach its readers with various principles and techniques in order to effectively speak in the public. But the principles presented here are not a magical eloquent formulas as this book is filled with disciplines to follow so that we could train ourselves to become an effective public sp...
Decent book. Took away some tips for my professional career and speaking with coworkers and upper management.
One of the most bland and tedious book ever read. It took me almost three years to finish this. After reading 'How to win friends', I had lot of expectations from this book but it disappointed me to the moon and back! It is not at all engaging. However it has few silver linings like Short talks, Impromptu speeches, Opening speeches, few tried and tested rules, etc. But whenever the interest is developed it is soon lost by numerous unnecessary analogies. If concised to one third of its volume it
Actually, I'm a type of a silent man and find myself hard to speak in the public. I always feel nervous when staying in front of many people, even in front of the group I have known well. However, once I remember, I was chosen to speak in front of thousands of students for 10-15mn while I hadn't known it in advance and prepared nothing. I kept staying calm, leant to microphone and I spoke of what I could think of. I didn't even realize what I was talking, but surprisingly, as I finished, everyon...
