Public Speaking for Success

By: Dale Carnegie

Narrated by: Sean Pratt

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.

Simply wonderful.

This book is life Changing !!!

What an Honor it was to listen this book. This makes me want to read all of Mr. Carnegie’s book. Absolutely recommended !

Great, usable content and great examples!!!

I loved this book! It gave me a lot to think about in preparing my speeches! It was very thorough as well.

Great book.

Dale Carnegie does it again. a little long, but really good. the readings at the end of the book we're also well worth listening to.

Another Masterpiece

This book is a true honest friend, which is something everyone is seeking. I highly recommend it as I am thankful and grateful for meeting with such a fantastic friend.

Some good informative

My personal opinion was that this book was way to long. Performance was solid, of course some information was definitely worth it, but could have cut a lot of the filler stories out. I think it would be good for high school students to listen to and even college students to grasp. But be prepared for also some dry material.

Came right on time.

What a great book, helped me a lot with my YouTube.
Thank you a lot, Dale!

Wisdom from the past

Lots of information, though some outdated, can definitely still be utilized today. There is also bonus content from other writers at the end that adds to all the knowledge one can soak up.

Long

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

solid tips and age old wisdom

great stories especially the acres of diamond speech by Dr. Russell conwell, which is included in the appendices

kind of boring

I thought it was boring. some helpful tips but others like grammar I thought weren't very
