The Art of Public Speaking

By: Dale Carnegie

Narrated by: Jason McCoy

The best way to become a confident, effective public speaker, according to the authors of this landmark book, is simply to do it. Practice, practice, practice. And while you're at it, assume the positive. Have something to say. Forget the self. Cast out fear. Be absorbed by your subject. And most importantly, expect success. "If you believe you will fail," they write, "there is hope for you. You will."

Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and personality development, gained fame by teaching others how to become successful. His book How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936) has sold more than 10 million copies. He also founded the Dale Carnegie Institute for Effective Speaking and Human Relations, with branches all over the world.

Something to listen to when time allows

Long but very informative. Jason McCoy is a great reader and he added a time frame via his voice to the whole audio.

Great book bad speaker

Jason speaks too quickly. The content is not delivered smoothly and the speaker can be hard to follow.

This is a very comprehensive guide for public speaking.

If you're looking for a public speaking guide you've found probably the most comprehensive one.

Great book, speaker could improve.

The book is great, the performance was not bad except words were mispronounced distractingly often.

Difficult to grasp for beginners/non-readers

Great book, and if you don't read often, it will take a few reads.
