Customer Reviews

The timeless classic on the subject
I am an executive coach and this is one of my staple reference books which I often give to coachees to read.

This book has been around since the 1920's and is STILL the classic book on public speaking. It covers topics such as developing self-confidence, how to prepare for a speech or presentation, how to interest your audience, how to open and close a talk and how to develop stage presence.

Whilst very good - seems only to be an update of a previous book
Although I had already read 90% of the content by reading Carneige's other books on public speaking....

Very useful book! So easy to read and a great follow up to 'how to win friends and influence people'. Many criticise Carnegie's writing style and say he could just publish a list of do's and dont's. I believe that lists are ok but do not allow a deeper understanding of the message! The examples Carnegie uses are timeless and you can mirror the efforts in everyday conversations, meetings and e-mail not only in public speach making. Would recommend to anybody!

This is a damn good book
Written in the 40's this book is as true today as it was then. i can tell that it is good, because the author uses his own rules to write this book and it is interesting & accessible. PLEASE buy it. it is really really good.
