Dale Carnegie's TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING is an updated edition of Carnegie's seminal work, PUBLIC SPEAKING, the four course books in public speaking published by the YMCA in 1920. These course books are unduplicated by later works. Here is the authentic Dale Carnegie, both folksy and erudite, teaching us not only Courage and Self-Confidence, but the secrets of Preparing the Speech; Opening and Closing an Address; giving the Convincing Speech, the Popular Speech, the Humorous Speech, the Decisive Speech, and much more. Carnegie shows that public speaking is the ideal vehicle for people in all walks of life to gain the self-confidence that brings success in all their endeavors. While Carnegie cites public figures well-known in the 1920s, the principles are equally vital and valid today.
