Product Description
Good public speakers are made, not born – or so thinks Dale Carnegie, the pioneer of personal business skills. Yet business, social and personal satisfaction depend heavily upon a person's ability to communicate clearly. Public speaking is an important skill which anyone can acquire and develop. It is also the very best method of overcoming self-consciousness and building up courage, enthusiasm and self-confidence. This classic, well established title has been called 'the most brilliant book of its kind'. It takes you step by step through: acquiring basic skills; developing confidence; speaking effectively the quick and easy way; earning the right to talk; vitalising your talk; and sharing the talk with the audience as well as organisation, presentation and other skills.

An Excellent Guide for all Public Speaking Endeavors
Dale Carnegie, most known for his masterpiece »How to Win Friends & Influence People« produces a compelling and articulate work with The Quick & Easy Way to Effective Speaking. Carnegie has the writing skill to convey the obvious in a manner that leaves one asking themselves why they had never put these principles into action in the first place. Many detractors of Carnegie's doctrine have suggested that he merely affirms the obvious; yet the intrigue is buried within the notion that while apparent, few people actually in fact apply these simple principles. Carnegie's standards are derived from countless studies, trials and investigations; thus his premise is sound and proven. He delves into a all encompassing overview of what is needed to fully be an effective public speaker. Each chapter has a mission and covers such topics as confidence, content, reading the audience, and being persuasive. I have no doubt that anyone seeking to improve, perfect, or even start a public speaking endeavor should review the principles outlined in The Quick & Easy Way to Effective Speaking, thus I recommend this book favorably.

A must read for public speaking
Excellent book. This book has been in print for so many years and has tremendous credibility. Reads like a textbook. A person in business who communicates must read this book. I highly recommend.

Sound advice in typical Dale Carnegie style.
I wasn't planning on giving a speech when I read this book -I just thought it would give me some ideas in case I had to do so in the future. As with Dale Carnegie's other books, »The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking« presents individual points of advice fattened by entertaining anecdotes and examples from the lives of well-known people and from Carnegie's own experience. As Carnegie himself suggests, the actual advice could be summarized within the space of a few pages (There's a summary at the end of each chapter) but the stories and examples make the the information more digestible. This edition was actually edited and released posthumously by Dale Carnegie's wife. The title is a little misleading because the number one lesson of public speaking to take away from the book is the importance of practice and preparation. There are no shortcuts. Although some of the examples are a little dated, this is still a worthwhile book to read especially if you enjoyed Carnegie's other books.
