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.

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.
