hope will be good book

This book should be in the survival box of every speaker, simple but effective tips with the backstage stories of the great and known speakers. It helped me a lot with the speech preparations, there is a summary at the end of every chapter which is handy even after you finish the book.
Read and practice, practice, practice :-)

It is one of the best books I have read. It really takes a man to the next level of public speaking. Found new words and ways of good speaking. Thank you Dale Carnegie.

Life changing book

All of the Carnegie books are amazing. I love the language it was written in and words the author uses to describe things. Very clear and to the point.

For my first book of the year, I tried to start with something I could follow through. Although I have no intention of becoming a public speaker, the guidelines provided by Dale Carnegie are still mostly relevant today: to be a good speaker, speak about what you know and love, and appropriately prepare for it through thorough research and practice. A lot of my self-confidence stems from my ability to gambol with words, after all. Knowledge and familiarity with the language with which one speaks is paramount towards being able to deliver a message properly.

Although this book may seem a little plain, I think that you can be sure you will get something from this book that you won’t regret in practice. If you need some ideas on how to make your public-speaking skills a little more colorful or to leave a greater impression on your listeners, this book can provide a good reference on how to do so.

It was ok. Was not exactly what I was looking for but I persisted. Very American based in its delivery and overall content which I found hard to relate to.

I hate the fact that i can literally just see the summary pages of the book, compile them, only read them, and you have literally read the entirety of the book already.

Even though I loved Dale Carnegie's more well known classic "How to win friends and influence people" I found myself having to really push my way through this one.I would find this helpful if I were a public speaker or aspired to be one. Although many of the examples are dated and were perhaps more well known at the time of the original publication it's ideas and principles are still relevant

How to Win Friends & Influence People

I was expecting very much from this book since I loved the other book from the author (How to win friends and influence people). Somehow I just didn’t find this so impressing. It was just ok. It might be also because I don’t have lack of self-confidence in public speaking. I’m more interested in developing my rhetoric and charisma.
