Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having just received this book in the post and having flicked through it, I am looking forward to being able to read it properly soon. As one would expect of Dale Carnegie's work, the content looks excellent -- useful and engaging. However, this version, published by BN Publishing in 2007, is not the one to buy. It is littered with misprints and reads as though it has been compiled from a previous edition by an Optical Character Recognition scanner. I cannot believe that some of the errors I have noticed would have been made by Dale Carnegie himself; for example, one paragraph compels the reader to "practice, PRACTISE!" A large proportion of the text in this book is devoted to doing away with such grammatical errors and inconsistencies. Elsewhere, the letter 'l' is replaced with the number '1', 'd' with the letters 'cl', 'm' with 'rn', and some letters are emboldened at random.
In summary, Dale Carnegie is an excellent author and you should read his works if you haven't done so already. Do the content of this book justice by finding a better version, printed by a more careful company.

Dale Carnagie is the original self confidence GURU!
23 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Never buy, read, or listen to a "poser" discussing confidence, success, or public speaking again. THEY all stole their material from Dale Carnagie.
This is IT. Buy Carnagie and keep him next to your other favorite books to be read again and again.

Baby steps to public speaking
25 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
When I bought this book I thought that it would be useful as a 'text' for a public speaking course I was taking. Turns out you should use it the way you use a religious text; little by little, day by day. It's not something you read through instead it's something that you use as a guide to improve over time. It's a great book but does require discipline on your part to practice what is suggested in the book.

A classic by one of America's best speakers!
28 July 2009
Format:Paperback
A classic by one of America's best speakers! This book will aid the newbie in becoming a much better speaker - and perhaps take some of the butterflies out of the stomach if that is a problem for the reader. Of course we can expect as much from Carnegie. So forget the size of the book - its great - you will find many very good strategies to help make your speech very impactful and persuasive.
Two other books that can make your speaking like dynamite are:
How To Preach Like A Preacher!: A Complete Training How-To Book For Preaching Like A Pro!
