Customer Rating:

I f you have to make a speech, present something, teach or give a demonstration then you definitely need to read this great book. This is my first Carnegie book to get and the book and style of writing is really captivating and makes a lot of sense. I didn't finish the book yet but I am really eager to learn more as I proceed. I highly recommend this for anyone as it will even help when you should even make simply a toast..

The saying what you don't know could hurt you is true.	Customer Rating:
I do a fair amount of public speaking and just dealing with people. When you know what you want to say and are able to say it confidently and with conviction it makes a big difference in the way it is received.

great help. Important information

I read this book before I did a presentation of my book to THE LOS ANGELES ATAXIA SUPPORT GROUP. It helped me a lot, and gave me the confidence that I needed to display my book in an oral book presentation. I will go over a few of the key points of this wonderful book by Dale Carnegie, Inc., and why the information was what I needed to hear. -In order to be a good public speaker you must have a strong and persistant desire to relate this information. (Yes, there is a strong and urgent need to increase awareness of CEREBELLAR ATAXIA as well as all of the other varieties of ATAXIA-a neurological, progressive, physical disorder that impairs coordination. I have been becoming more and more physically handicapped with my genetic neurological disorder since I was 17.) -Know thoroughly what you are going to talk about. Don't speak until you are sure that you have something to say, and then say it, and sit down. (I am already sitting in a wheelchair due to my progressive, genetic disorder. I related to my audience how I wrote the book, over years, the publication process, and then I recited three of the poems from my book.) -Practice, Practice, Practice. Be prepared. State your facts, argue from them, and appeal for action. (I described how it is to live with a progressive, neurological handicap. I hope it will raise awareness of ATAXIA.) Those are a few of the key point of this marvelous book by Dale Carnegie, Inc. My book is called Dreams in August: Life, Love, and Cerebellar Ataxia
