The best way to become a confident, effective public speaker, according to the authors of this landmark book, is simply to do it. Practice, practice, practice. And while you're at it, assume the positive. Have something to say. Forget the self. Cast out fear. Be absorbed by your subject. And most importantly, expect success. "If you believe you will fail," they write, "there is hope for you. You will."

Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and personality development, gained fame by teaching others how to become successful. His book How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936) has sold more than 10 million copies. He also founded the Dale Carnegie Institute for Effective Speaking and Human Relations, with branches all over the world.

Really useful and insightful tips. Great book to develop public speaking.

This book covered some really interesting ideas that unveil the skills and mindset involved in public speaking.
The reason I gave it a four star is because there are too many chapters, which made it hard for me to get the bigger picture. Maybe if they can group the chapters into parts, that will be a very complete and enjoyable book.

Confirming the obvious

It was OK, but it did spend the first few chapters stating the obvious. However it was very informative in many other ways, and I would recommend it for those embarking on public speaking.

Althought this book was first published way back - it is still very much relevant to the current and future intricates of Public Speaking. The authors have been able to carefully discuss the various aspects of the act of speaking publicly in a way that is relevant to both those who are experienced speakers and those who are aiming to become top notch speakers.
