Publisher's Summary

Dale Carnegie, author of the legendary How to Win Friends and Influence People, began his career as the premier "life coach" of the 20th century by teaching the art of public speaking. Public speaking, as Carnegie saw it, is a vital skill that can be attained through basic and repeated steps. His classic volume on the subject appeared in 1926 and was revised twice - in shortened versions - in 1956 and 1962.

This 2006 revision - edited by a longtime consultant to Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., and the editor in charge of updating How to Win Friends and Influence People - is the definitive one for our era. While up to date in its language and points of reference, Public Speaking for Success preserves the full range of ideas and methods that appeared in the original, including Carnegie's complete speech and diction exercises, which follow each chapter, as the author originally designated them.

This edition restores Carnegie's original appendix of the three complete self-help classics: Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, and A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. Carnegie included these essays in his original edition because, although they do not directly relate to public speaking, he felt they would be of great value to listeners. Here is the definitive update of the best-loved public-speaking book of all time.

Handrail

The audiobook "Public Speaking for Success" by "Dale Carnegie" was a handrail for me as a child in the ART of Public Speaking firmly helped me to climb step by step SCIENTIFICALLY. I am grateful to meet Hon'ble Lincoln every now and then.

Needs another edit

The ideas described in this book are extremely useful, but some of them would gain even more if they were edited again in the recent years.

This book doesn't only teach one to hold him or herself correctly when speaking in front of a group, but also teaches many things like self-assurance, voice techniques, body movements, motivation for success.

Dale is best

A great read whether a first time public speaker or a long time one. There is a little for everyone. One of those books to go back to every couple of years.

Out of date

What was cutting edge knowledge 70 years ago, is old now. Almost every child knows what he tries to tell us.

Absolutely fantastic!

The last chapter was the best! It wrapped an incredible book with a nice bow. This book will indeed teach you tactics related to becoming a better speaker- but it ends with gems associated with the necessary tools to be a good man or woman. Truly, the authentic speaker will go the furthest. So seek your truth, so that that you may command a crowd’s attention by speaking from what is near and dear to you. If what is near and dear is true, its foundation is based in servitude. A message worth hearing serves humanity. So you see, it all comes full circle if you pay attention.

Dissapointing

I guess my expectations were set too high, because I listened to "How yo win friends and influence people" twice and liked it a lot. But this book, I couldnt finish. It outdated and full of unverified statements that history has proven to not be true

Misogynistic Trope

I wish I could get my credit back and expunge this from my phone forever. This book may have been just fine for the time it was written if you happen to have been a white Christian male. It probably offended everyone else like it did me.

Long

This is a long and information pact audiobook. It requires listening at least twice, but it’s 15 hours. So strap in.

Life changing, chapter 21!

This Book was so much more than just for public speaking, it was an extension of how to make friends and influence people a fantastic read. Chapter 21 was by far one of the most profound chapters I've ever read and one I'll be referencing for many years to come.
